Some ideas for improvement

As an author, I often ask myself questions about my job. How will it evolve? Am I taking a qualitative approach?

Of course, environmental issues arise in any field of activity. Although digital printing uses the least paper, it still consumes energy.
Authors have a far greater influence than they think on the solutions implemented in the book trade. For example, as was the case in the UK, they can put pressure on publishers to be more transparent about the origin of printed paper and the conditions of reforestation.

That said, it’s by reflecting too on the consequences of mass production in the artistic field that certain ideas for improvement are born. To limit an impact, some solutions are better suited than others. In my opinion, print-on-demand, which has been around for several years now, is a process that should be given greater consideration.

Update knowledge

Internet allows you to research a lot of data and to save time. However, they need to be verified for each project and to go deeper is necessary. Very often, I follow specific training courses. Let’s take the example of detective stories and mysteries. Taking a few forensic science courses gave me some insights. Just like listening to authors of historical fiction expose their problems of writing. I have always thought that being opened to new knowledge and perfecting oneself in one’s profession were essential. Exactly as to teach them afterwards. All these exchanges are humanly enlightening.
