13 editions th Note suspend their program releases. From maritime transport, Eric Vieljeux was founded five years ago this house as singular and audacious, with 60% of authors ever published in France. An alternative line underground and transgressive, which allowed, in 75 tracks, to make an inventory of against American culture, inherited from the founding fathers Henry Miller, John Fante, Jack Kerouac, Richard Brautigan, Ken Kesey, Charles Bukowski, Hubert Selby Jr, Hunter S.

BEAUTIFUL LOSERS
“Gender 13 th Note is at the confluence of various heritages: realism, beat, confessional – autobiographical writings accompanied by a legal requirement for the accuracy of less events reported that the sincerity of the narrative and the authenticity of the “risk-taking”, book summarizes the director and translator Patrice Carrer. It has affinities with the polar (murky atmospheres, environments shady, illegal substances, emotional and physical abuse, taste suspense, unbridled sexuality …) and rock music (improvisation, visceral sense of rhythm, thirst sensation). “
Las , despite the originality of its catalog, 13 th Note failed to conquer a wider audience. “ This is a temporary suspension, which shall be final at the end of this year, unless you find a partner, says Eric Vieljeux . So far, the books are still available and distribution contract with Flammarion always short. But in the current configuration, I do not see any way out. I made a choice to invest in a specific field of literature, and I had to use my capital to enable this investment to extend time. “
” HE MISSED ME A BEST-SELLER “
due to insufficient Sales, Eric Vieljeux can no longer absorb losses. American desperado , the autobiography of mobster Jon Roberts, is the only title 13 th Note that exceeded 10,000 copies. off me! Hampton Hawes, released in September 2013, has not even surpassed the 1500 despite the prize from the Académie du Jazz.
“Now, we give a lot of dog in terms of translation and proofreading said Eric Vieljeux. C is expensive and I refuse a headlong rush. When I founded the publishing house, I do not think making money. I knew I had to be patient but I was hoping that after a few years it could float, that is to say, reach equilibrium. But I missed a bestseller. My biggest weakness is to live in Spain and do not know the environment. Major publishers ignore us superbly. There are only 15% of our catalog is reprinted in pocket. Even booksellers they very supportive. We had a visibility that many publishers dream of having our dimension, as well as in independent in Fnac. “
If no solution is found in the coming months, the authors of 13 th Note recover their rights. Hopefully another publisher wants to offer good hospitality.
