@transitlounge2 I too doubt it.

Interesting when small indies are facing the same issues here. Do buyers think about who the book they buy is published by ? I doubt it.

Our April lineup is looking excellent. Come along to the Drill Hall Gallery to hear new work from local and international writers @CJBowerbird, Theodore Ell, Irfan Master, Jacinta Mulders and Jean McNeil. eventbrite.com.au/e/capital-lett…

Happy launch day! @alfergus_author Today the Grey Nomad gets shot into the world. A cozy book that follow the adventures of an (older) woman as she navigates age, zero gravity and alien politics. A fun read!
