Writers! Where/how did you find & hire your editors (for any kind of editing)? Or if you're looking for one, where/how are you searching? And what's your genre? I'm curious about how your real experiences line up with how editors talk about marketing and visibility. Thanks 💖
Tons of books have been added to IndieStoryGeek.com recently-- there are over 5,000 indie books listed now, which makes it easily the largest collection of indie-only books I've ever heard about.
But if your favorite small press, self-published, or web serial story isn't there, it's easy to add them! And if you're looking for an indie book to fit your mood, we have a novel review system designed to help with exactly that.
Vom Krankenlager aus good news: Wer will die Taschenbuchausgabe von #Sanderversum 1- #Paranuit zu Weihnachten verschenken? Das böse A hat es nun gelistet und gibt als Lieferfrist den 9.-12.12. an.
Thalia braucht drei Wochen, das ist zu knapp. Die haben dafür das E-Book schon am Start, A noch nicht. Hugendubel & Weltbild trödeln bei beiden Formaten.

There's a new free platform/catalogue of indie/self-published books for readers and authors alike: https://myindiebookshelf.com
The developer, Christian Francis (indie author) created this as a service to the indie publishing community. Add your published works, or find indie books in any genre. Also alpha/beta readers and ARCs. And soon, the Mindie Awards!
I have just self-published my book Crash Course. It has taken me quite some time to find the best solution to do this. In the end I decided to avoid using Amazon's services.
I just got an email from BookBrush this morning, and it contained a survey about interest in creating AI narrated #audiobooks with them if I would paid a one-time fee of $999 USD to join that service. Of course my first thought was what about the #narrators? What about quality? And a number of other things. I did some research and I’m even more concerned, and of course, the email was sparse in details. While it’s tempting as a #SelfPublished author, I still care about the people it effects. The narrators and the authors. Am I being too paranoid about this or is the appropriate reaction? Who wants to discuss? #WritersofMastodon#SelfPublishing
Friends, I've been holding this back for over a month, but I'm finally at the point where I'm comfortable sharing it...
The cover of my debut novel, The Way of the Wielder!
I'm seriously so in love with it. 🥰 Everything about it is just perfection. You can read more about the process, and the cover itself, on this morning's blog post.
And if you haven't read The Way of the Wielder yet, no worries! You can buy your copy on Amazon now (or read it on KU for free): https://a.co/d/hRZOw8j
