I did find my micro-publishing house relatively easily... Very cool! ;-)

I know that isn't an AMA, but may I ask, how is running a publishing house working out for you? From the outside, having a small publishing house, sounds like an uphill battle on all fronts. What is the main driver to become a publisher - hobby turned into profession?


It's mostly still a hobby. I publish very few books and could do without being a "publisher". But being one allows me to exist in the official French databases where traditional bookshops can find my books and order with one click. Without that, they would have to search on Google, find a phone number or an email address, and they probably wouldn't even bother.

It's not a recipe for getting rich! But it works for me, (and costs almost nothing).


Huh, that text (and barcodes) are very offset from where they should be. Would you mind sharing what OS and browser you are using and if this text weirdness was temporary or all the time?


This was on Chrome 109.0.5414.120, last available version for Windows 7. (And yes I know, I know, it's very bad to still run Win7 ;-)
