Yay for local bookshops!

And if it for some reason it has to be online, (for Germany) I'd suggest #fairmondo or #buch7 .

Also I really like when creators take the way of self-publishing, like #OtherNorms does with their #Starpunk-Books :

@el_joa @switchingsocial The traditional publishing industry is, in my opinion, severely outdated in its practices.

Self-publishing can look intimidating at first, but it's pretty much the only option if you want to keep some measure of control over your work. That's not even getting into the pittance that authors receive for their hard work.
