6 Weeks Out – What Happens When Launching a Book [Vlog]

Last week when I announced my newest book, Seattle 100: Portrait of a City, I promised to blog, vlog, report and otherwise share the behind-the-scenes process of what it’s been like so far in taking this project to print AND what’s going on in these final weeks prior to the official “launch”. Lots to report. My hope is that this can help anybody who is heading into a book project or perhaps considering it…

Hundreds of questions poured this week about the process, so in this chasejarvis CURRENT video I recorded last night at 1am, I tackle a handful of those questions and rattle on a bit about what’s going on this week. Bear with me on my yapping. It was late. I was knackered. I’ll be doing one of these every week till the book hits shelves in October, so lemme know what you want to hear more

about… Lastly, I just found out that Seattle 100 is the #2 Black & White photography book selling at Amazon right now, and #1 in Photography Travel section. Check it:

[Update: Since posting this–thanks to you–we’re now #1 in b/w and #1 in travel AND #9 in Digital Photography. Majorly humbled and thank you!]

Huge huge thanks to all you who are purchasing. I’d be so grateful if book stayed high in those rankings…for if you remember, all my proceeds go to 4culture.org. Let’s raise some money for a good cause.

Buy Seattle 100: Portrait of a Cityfrom Amazon.

    Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy in the UK, shame amazon UK charge us $10 more for a copy !

    It would be really cool if amazon had the “Look Inside” feature on the book so we could get an advance sneak peak 🙂

    Keep up the great work, love your work and all the behind the scenes stuff / video blogs you and your team share with us.

    Chase,
    You are a MASTER of self promotion! I love it! P.T. Barnum would be proud. Congrats on the book.

      i guess this is a compliment, but i’m not sure how this is self promo when I’ve just spent the last 3 years of my life doing a book about other creative people, completely funded the project by myself 100% … to the tune of some serious $, and I’m giving all the money away to support the arts. aren’t i promoting culture, art, and 100 other people?

    I have a question for you! How does your family deal with you being away a lot? Do they get to go on these trips with you at all?
