J'ai créé une bande-annonce pour mon livre Aut'chose que d'la purée. Selon plusieurs, les bandes-annonces de livres sont d'excellents outils promotionnels, mais elles n'ont aucune incidence sur les ventes. Utilisez-vous une bande-annonce? #bandeannonce #livre #auteur #essai

I created a trailer for my book "Give Me a Solid."
According to several authors, book trailers are great promotional tools, but they've yet to lead to book sales. What's your experience? #booktrailer #promotional #publishing #book #author #nonfiction #recipes #dysphagia

Artificial intelligence has its advantages, but one of its major drawbacks is the widespread publication of questionable books. Until a law requires that AI-written books be labeled as such, here is a "red flag" checklist:

L'intelligence artificielle a ses avantages, mais l'un de ses inconvénients majeurs est la publication de livres douteux à grande échelle. En attendant qu'une loi impose que les livres écrits par l'IA soient étiquetés comme tels, voici un petit guide à conserver :

Just saw a post on LinkedIn that finally said out loud what all 30 y.o.+ writers and screenwriters feel on a daily basis: Sometimes ‘emerging filmmakers’ are not 18-25. Please offer emerging funding to 30+. We're so worth backing. #funding #emerging #womeninfilm #filmmakers #film #authors
