Certification 2024

For several years, I have regularly participated in updating my knowledge. because I consider writing a profession. The specialization that I have just completed allows me to acquire new knowledge while offering me the possibility of supporting other authors in their projects. This is characterized, for example, by feedback and constructive criticism on their writings.

The team that awards this specialization is made up mostly of authors who have published more than a dozen award-winning novels and written articles in publications such as the New York Times, the Washington Post and O : The Oprah Magazine. A very enriching approach.

Today I received my certification and thank the entire team.

Cultural openness

On June 10, the opening ceremony of the third edition of the Nostre Mar festival took place. A festival wishing to bring people together so as not to spread anti-LGBT hatred, racism and anti-semitism.

I listened to the first part devoted to a conference by the historian Marie-Anne Matard-Bonucci on the theme “fascism and anti-semitism” as well as the second part which was called “entre-là” and which was devoted to music.

It was an intense moment of reflection and exchange.

The memorial also has very interesting books.

Here are some photos from the evening:

I am pleased to announce that this week I joined the circle of Catalan authors. A professional approach that I consider very important for discussing the arts and our profession. A possibility for you too, dear readers, to come and meet us in places favorable to the sharing of ideas.

Updating a trailerbook

As part of the reissue of my books in digital format, I updated the trailer for Fantastic L.A. because the cover of the book changed on the version published in 2023.  I use the open shot software on Linux, it seems to me that It is also available on other platforms.

I acquired the video files and composed the music. Then, repair the track by track assembly.
