Sustainable Publishing

For a few years now, my husband and I have been micro-farmers. Our philosophy is to live sustainably and to leave our farm ecosystem in a better shape than we’ve found it in. And while I scythed the pasture today, I realised that as a writer, I have been working on sustainability, too.

You might define the term sustainable as purely economical: Put X amount of money and time in to get X+Y amount of money out. Which is one way of looking at your life as an artist. Not very rewarding but necessary when your funds run out by mid-month and you have to chew on dry bread for 2 weeks until the next Amazon cheque arrives in your mailbox.
