It's easy on Amazon, publicity is the nightmare as it not looking at how low the sales are! I haven't tried any what were once called vanity publishers, who you pay to try to sell your book.

I want geek myths out and no agent wants it.
2 small press liked it. But can't publish right now.
Maybe amazon is best.

I don't blame the agents. It's not a propper genre
It's not sf... but is for sf readers
It's not a rom com . But has comedy and romance.

I think the cover is very busy. Something more modern like the linked Sports Geek is more my thing: link

The cover concept is interesting, but I agree that it's a bit too busy.
A friend of mine self-published using Lulu. I'm not really in touch with her anymore. Another friend of mine uses Smashwords. But I think that's ebooks only.

Too busy... check.
I just didn't have an idea at all what to do.
Maybe a family tree of sf space ships in silhouette?
Or a book case?
I'm stumped
