Of course, we assumed that the book would sell well ? why else would we want to publish it? Nevertheless, we were surprised how quickly the first edition sold out.

Winter Bookstore, one of the most popular BookTubers (Book + Youtuber) with 230K subscribers, posted a video introducing a book.

Lulu Miller was a new science journalist and a writer just introduced to Korean readers. Though the book contains excellent writing and exciting stories, the one-person publisher, Gom Books, did not have the marketing power to make the book popular. Why Fish Don’t Exist was reviewed in major newspapers several times, but the public did n...
