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.

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.
Dostałem wyjątkowo piękną recenzję swojego albumu #4xKungsleden. Autorem jest Tomasz Merwiński prowadzący bloga podróżniczego i recenzujący książki nie tylko podróżnicze, zapraszam!
Ach, sieh an. Eine Kollegin, mit der ich ganz früher bei Medizinübersetzungen gerne zusammengearbeitet habe, und die seit Jahren hauptsächlich für Indie-Verlage Literatur übersetzt, hat einen Ratgeber für Übersetzende von Self-Publishing-Literatur geschrieben. #IndieVerlag#xl8#SelfPublishing https://www.bdue-fachverlag.de/detail_book/169
