I’ve been indie published for three years, ever since this baby came out:
I’m no Hugh Howey, but I hang with some pretty high roller indie types, and with 45 titles on Amazon (what? how did that happen?), I know a few things about indie publishing. Enough that I wrote a book to help first-timers get their start in the wild and rollicking indie world.
The ground is constantly shifting in indie land, so launching a new career (or even a new series) in 2014/15 is going to be different than when I started out. But as I watch new authors start their careers, and launch new series myself, much remains the same. And I’m learning new strategies all the time. Data, people! I loves it.
To celebrate my Three Year Indie-versary, I want to share some of those insights with you! So I’m offering up consults for two writer-friends who are indie published (or soon-to-be).
WHAT: A consult on how to grow an author career with your works
WHEN: At our mutual convenience, via email
WHO SHOULD ENTER: Anyone who has indie published, or soon plans to, and wants honest feedback from an experienced indie-published author on how to boost their author careers and achieve their writerly goals.
Fingers crossed! The IASG was a life-saver for me before I published. I recommend it to everyone.
Okay, not my grandma or the guy at the pet store, but my writer friends who are looking for advice. 🙂
Thanks so much for recommending the book! 🙂
Yes, I loved that book and sold it to quite a few author friends. 🙂 Since I have your books, I hope I still got entered in the giveaway even though I didn't actually download the free files.
Graeme, you're entered!
Major congrats on three years Susan!!
Thank you Sarra!
Wow – what a fabulous opportunity, Susan! And super easy entries since I already own ALL of your books! 😉
and congratulations to you. You're an indie author for us newbies to watch, for sure.
Thank you!
Great contest! Congrats on three successful years, Susan!
Thanks!
Congratulations on your three years of indie publishing!!! Way to go! I mentioned the contest on twitter and on my blog.
Thanks so much Tyrean!
Congrats on your Indie-versary! Your one of the main reasons I have no desire to be traditionally published! You're writing the stories YOU want to write and not waiting for some flunkie to deem your work good enough! The Third Daughter series is pure genius!
Wow, thanks for those kind words about Third Daughter! And yes… writing the stories you want and love is one of the BEST reasons to indie publish. Thanks for your sweet comment!
I recently purchased your book on indie publishing and also downloaded Open Minds which I'm in the middle of now. I just wanted to thank you for sharing everything you've learned in your book. I'm still undecided which publishing route I want to go, but it's so great to have access to info from someone who has been through the indie process. Oh, and I'm loving Open Minds so far! 🙂
