Here's my insight and tidbits on this PR scam and how it relates to #xartistsbooks and Keanu Reeves. Each book has two people attached to it, an author and an artist. They have to get those books printed and then go out there to sell it. The price of each book printed depends on how many book you order. Printing one book might cost $30, especially since xartistsbooks has graphics, but if they ordered 1000 copies up front, then the price for each book could be only $10. Let say that xartistsbooks has 12 different books and they are printing 1000 copies for each title at $10 each which is $120,000 (or even more if they print 2,000 copies for each book). Money used for promotion? Money on rented office space? That's a lot of money and now they have to go out there and sell each book for $30. $10 will be reimbursed to the publisher or whoever fronts the money for the publication which is most likely Keanu Reeves and $20 is the profit from each book sale. Now they will divide the profit between the publisher, the author, and the artist. From what I can see and tell, the Artist's Prison is a piece of crap, writing and artwork, thus, this PR scam and stunt come into play to make money for this publishing company. Insight? Thoughts?
I say cut your fucken loss instead of ruining your image or allowing an undeserving lunatic to gain from it.
