Why I Turned Down Traditional Book Publishing | Fantasy Writing Vlog

In this video I will tell you why I turned down the offer of traditional book publishing. My little fantasy book is practically done! But now I have so many things to do. In this video I will tell you about how far I got and all the things left to do and what my plans are now when I decided to self publish.

    Love how productive you are and how you take everything in your own hands/voice/mind! So inspiring! :) I seem so far creatively pretty stuck this year (the world seems so heavy), so it's great to see other creatives who experience flow and productivity and actually manage to get to the last stage and actually end up being able to share their works. Thank you so much for sharing your process! xx

    Thank you so much! ❤ This whole thing is an escape for me. The world is crazy and there is so little I can do. I sent some money but it feels so small and my heart breaks when I see the news. The first two weeks of the war in Ukraine I did not do anything but watch the news and I am really scared about the future. To write and fix with the book keeps my mind somewhat healthy.

    @@Vildemo I can so relate to this and I feel so helpless, as I don't even have an income to donate with (I am a stay at home care giver and my art does not [yet?] generate any income) and no room for refugees to stay (we live in a tiny council flat). I used to be a climate and nature activist before the pandemic hit and felt like I was doing at least a small little thing to make things better, but since then my anxiety makes it impossible for me to be out there protesting and organising... So I rely, just like you, on keeping my mind busy with being in nature and art projects, but I lack a sense of direction in this weird world-situation. I feel like I want to contribute something meaningful, but I am not sure if anything I can offer is of any use... It's a weird space to be in.

    Juste a little tip : if you use plant based milk in your coffee, like oat milk, your voice won't be husky. (Dairy make the body produce mucus)

    I had that for a while but did not get used to the taste. It was like water and milk mixed for me. But a lot of people say they they can not tell the difference so that is great! And much better for the voice!

    Wow well now I wanna know the rest of the story. It’s so beautifully written even with just the beginning of the story, well done! And Swedish is such a beautiful language I love it.

    Thank you for the English subtitles for the audiobook. :) I'm so excited about the book and your self-publishing journey (I hope you will take us with you in vlogs :) ) Even though I don't know Swedish I'll be happy to buy a Swedish version as well to keep me company during waiting for the English version :) Btw self-publishing is more and more common in Poland too lately, because people don't like contracts terms as well or Publishing Houses don't want to print them for various reasons.

    Thank you so much! 💕 I think it will be more common in the future. The contracts are really not so good. And the publishing houses do not sell so many books. About 800 - 1500 books of a debutant in Sweden. I don't think it is good enough. They really need to step up the game. I can sell more books all by myself. 😆 A lot of people see this now, that if they just go all in and work hard and consistent, they will do better alone than with traditional publishing and also have full control over their work.

    I enjoyed this little piece of your work. My imagination runs wild filling in possible imagery to the stories told in Swedish. I am so happy for you, this is such a beautiful journey you are sharing. 💞🌹
