The literary association of authors of the 66 would be represented for the event valeurs en fêtes organized by the department and which will take place next week at the palace of the kings of Majorca.
A big thank you to all for the organization.
Here are some links that will allow you to find out more :
On the site I approached several times different themes on the evolution of my profession. There is writing on the one hand but also the environment in which it is brought to move. A few months ago, I got a certificat following the follow-up of a course. It outlines the measures to be put in place for better accessibility of content within the specific framework of accessible books and publishing. A large set of concepts has been addressed in a general way. If you are wondering about this, the ABC consortium will provide you with more information.
For several years, I have regularly participated in updating my knowledge. because I consider writing a profession. The specialization that I have just completed allows me to acquire new knowledge while offering me the possibility of supporting other authors in their projects. This is characterized, for example, by feedback and constructive criticism on their writings.
The team that awards this specialization is made up mostly of authors who have published more than a dozen award-winning novels and written articles in publications such as the New York Times, the Washington Post and O : The Oprah Magazine. A very enriching approach.
Today I received my certification and thank the entire team.
I will be present this Saturday, June 15, 2024 for the Book and Imaginary Festival all morning.
You can meet me at Latour Bas Elne avenue du Tech, place de la Fontaine.
You can discover my books through several extracts or ask me questions. An event for which I can’t wait to meet my audience.
Several artistic disciplines will be brought together (Literature, Drawing, Music). On this occasion you will also be able to discover games as well as role-playing games.
The Book and Imagination Festival is organized in partnership with the city public library and the Catalan authors’ circle. Free admission.
Today, I will attend the career changes conference organized by Occitanie Livre et Lecture. If you are an author too, you can contact me at this address.
Friday December 16, 2022 I will be the guest of the club lecture at public library in Thuir at 5 p.m. When I come, I will meet the readers to speak about my book fantastic L.A. and reveal to them a part of elements from the writing process.
The club lecture proposes to the public the opportunity to discover new books and their selection from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., t. Don’t hesitate to join us.

I always liked public libraries. When I was a student at the university, they were a great place to make researches, learn and drink a coffee.
To meet a public at the club and to find my book Fantastic L.A close to the others authors was fun.
Thank you to the public library and club lecture member 🙂
When you began to write to publish, this question comes to you. What are the reasons for using an alias? I think, they are of two kinds. The first is to preserve your anonymity, the other one to create a second identity.
There are situations where authors feel a danger by publishing under their real name. Let’s take the case of the denunciation of illegal or violent acts through a book, thus providing testimony as a victim (illicit activities within a company, by example).
In a different case, opting for a pen name is also the possibility of publishing texts in a new style. Some authors do this with the aim of testing a new audience. For my part, I wrote a first short story under a pseudonym. I didn’t want to reveal my name when posting at that time. Then I realized that I felt it was important for me Several years later, I replaced the pseudonym (used for my novel) with one of my surnames.
To wait from publishers is very long. Which has its advantages and disadvantages. Waiting feeds anxiety but it’s also a good time to communicate about your work, learn new skills and explore the different possibilities of your future book. For me, that’s what I’m doing right now.
During the creative process, I like to explore the arts. Playing music or/and drawing allows me to come back to my book.
This week I scanned drawings and learned how to embed metadata into the file. I thought sharing this tip with you might help you too.
Metadata allows you to add information to an image: the title of the image, the name of the author, the year, rights etc. which may be useful. If you want to do this, you will need to use photo manipulation software. For my part, I chose Gimp. To add metadata, open your drawing with the software, go to the image menu and click on add metadata. Save the file.
