What’s Happy Misfits and Why this subreddit?

Hello there! I’m Steeve, founder of Happy Misfits Publishing, a brand new publishing company. A few words about what we do:

Well, for one, we publish stuff obviously. Comics mainly. But a bit of prose too. Why start a publishing company in this day and age you might ask? Here’s why: in France (where I currently live), when you buy a book, only 8% of what you pay goes into the creators’ pockets. We think that’s insanely low. So we decided to raise the bar to 30% min. To do that, we have to do things differently. One way we do that is by publishing short stories twice a month for a year through our newsletter. If you subscribe to the paid plan, you receive a book compiling all the stories without any additional charges. More about that in a coming post. Also, everything we publish is available in French AND English from the get go.

And so, why create a subreddit? Mainly to have a place to interact with our readers. Make some announcements, reply to any questions you might have or even talk about cool initiatives from other people trying to do things differently.

So, if you have any questions, feel free to shoot!
