About
All indie authors (whether you're just thinking about it, sending your first book into the world, or marketing a backlist of 20-plus titles) are invited to commiserate, share wisdom, collaborate, and mastermind next steps. Writing and self-publishing can be lonely pursuits. Let's change that. Come to listen, ask questions, or share.
Over time, we'll explore these and other questions at this roundtable set to occur on the third Tuesday of every month:
- Is indie for you?
- How do you balance writing and business?
- How do you find and keep readers?
- Can you love marketing even if you hate it now?
- What's an author brand and how do you get one?
- Do you have to do ALL THE THINGS (like newsletters and social media and book signings) or can you choose?
- Where are you in your indie career, and how do you level up?
- What software and tech approaches can make indie life easier?
- How do you work with cover designers and editors?
- How do you grow your career from hobby to business?
You can expect to find support, accountability, brainstorming, goal-setting, camaraderie, and the sharing of business information. This is not a critique group.
