I read a recent blog by English/American fantasy author J.V Jones (Julie Victoria) that said in countries where her books were sold without her photo on the sleeve, most people assumed she was a male.

According to what i hear daily creativ activities are told like a spare-time for Women ,when Mens are much more seen like serious artists.

When i say i’m painting people ask me if i like decoration stuffs, and if i could do a portrait of their kids ^^

A lot of my favourite authors are female and as you know I read a heap of books. I can’t imagine it to be true that publishers favour male authors, but you should know.
