Lately I have felt so stressed and powerless with all the bad news and the state of the world, probably like all of you. Being unemployed and spending all my time on Instagram doesn't help, but I have found some confort in looking into solutions I can take myself. The hardest part is to feel powerless, but I still believe there is small things we can do, as a community or as individuals.
I have spent a lot of time looking into alternatives to big American companies, and I have seen many Instagram posts about it, but I wanted to put my rock on the pile and express myself too about this subjects.
And if it can motivate some peoples to take that step, i'm very happy with that. Because i'm gonna be honest, it is long and tidious. But it is worth it.
I do want to precise that this has nothing to do against the american people themselves, but I cannot stand being attached so strongly to a political entity that is dislike and disagree with so much. We need to take back some control.

If you're wondering how it's like to do promotion work when you're a baby author, i'm bringing you with me for a little tour of some librairies in my home town!
Most of the work is to convice them to order some books to put on the librairies shelves, and that's quite tricky! Why? If nobody buys the book, they can't send it back. So, easier say than done :)
But summary of the day, this time, it was a success! One library ordered Coray to put in the shop! âïž It maybe seems like a small victory, but for me it's a big win! I also discussed about a potential signing session with another one.
And that's how it is sometimes, best to be happy with the small success đ

đŹđ§My opinion on participatory publishing systemđŹđ§
So far, my experience has been very mixed.
To put it simply, I'd say it's not worth it.
This is the reality inexperienced: I paid âŹ2,800 to publish my book.
-> Knowing that I only receive 20% of sales, considering the price of my novel, I need to sell 500 books just to break even.
-> Books are printed by order, which is more convenient for the author (distributor takes care of printing and shipping, so no need to worry about it), but they are also much more expensive per copy.
-> However, the main work of the layout and printing will be done properly. This can be risky if you do it yourself. What about advertizing?: Your book quickly gets lost among the others.
-> Although publishers might make a small selection, the sheer number of publications is still too high to stand out.
-> The biggest problem: Bookstores aren't taking orders. It's not worth it for them with this system.
-> Books are coming out quickly one after the other. They advertise once, and then move on to something else.
-> So most of the advertising has to be done by the author if you want to be seen (visiting bookstores, attending book fairs, and using the internet as communication...).
