Writer and artist A.P. Fuchs goes live at Winnipeg Comic Con 2025 and gives you a tour of Artist Alley. Starting off at his table, all sorts of cool books and comics are explored along with stellar pop culture art, crafts, and merch.
The comic convention was a lot of fun. Looking forward to next year.
Take a look at what’s shown and, perhaps, look into the artisan yourself if something catches your eye. Supporting true art is so important in this day and age. Join the fight!

Authortube: AI Writing and Art is Stealing, End of Story
The video based on this article. Please share this important message.
As writers and artists, it’s either we speak up now or we screw ourselves going forward. This is my effort to speak up. Up to you regarding what you do but I strongly urge you to start making noise right away because otherwise the next thing you’ll know, the publishing industry will be even more doomed than it is already is.
The choice is yours.

Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Three: The Copycat Method
This particular method of book marketing is very effective because it allows you to take what works and apply it to your own projects. The copycat method is just like it sounds: Copy.
All marketing is based on the copy principle. The “how to copy” is different depending on what you’re marketing, but in this case, we’re talking books and comics–though the principle applies to any product–and how to take things to the next level as you market your book.
Watch this video to find out how to go about it and how to execute the Copycat Method. I won’t lie. It will take some work, but it will be worth it in the end.
Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Two: The Plan
This book marketing video takes the bull by the horns and is intended to be the first step in increasing book or comic sales. The reality is, once a writer or artist puts out something for the public that they have to pay money for, that writer or artist has become a business, and to get the book or graphic novel to sell means you have to treat your finished work and the distribution thereof as a business as well.
In this video, A.P. Fuchs teaches the basics of assessing your current business plan even if you didn’t have one written out to begin with. This video will not show you how to create a business plan from scratch but rather how to extract a business plan from what you’re already doing for your review.
This is part two of helping authors and artists increase the sales of their work from a veteran publisher and author of twenty-five years, who has been published both traditionally and has worked independently.
Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part One: Encouragement
You’ve done all you can. You wrote the book to the best of your ability, you got an editor to correction some issues, you got a fancy book cover, and solid distribution.
Yet your book is not selling, or not selling in the amount you want. What do you do? How can this be fixed? Surely must be a way to move copies.
What am I doing wrong? You might ask yourself.
The following video, part one of a series, might be of help. Step one: Encouragement.
Publishing Books: The First Half of 2024 in Review
Since we’re at the halfway mark of 2024, I thought this would be a good time to review what’s been published this year so far. Link to book page in the descriptions, but this is where we stand so far in publishing books this year.
There will be a publishing gap until later in the fall. There might be one thing, but that’s in floating status at the moment. The work is done. Just an issue of assembly.

CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS: POETRY COLLECTION:
All right, World, this is how it’s going to be: Rhymes and verse, Melodies rehearsed, across life’s rocky sea. Read a poem, maybe two, pick three if you wish to dare. Ramblings and coherence, sometimes jots of incoherence, anything for poetic flare. Enjoy and explore, please do, I implore. Let’s talk about life bizarre ’cause it’s pretty complex stuff, said Harvey Pekar. Go to book page.
