The
day I realized I’d been obsessing over my sales figures way too much was the
day I closed my eyes and tried to think about the real reason I am an indie
author.
Is
my primary goal to make money? No. So why do I keep obsessing over my sales
stats? I realized it’s because more sales means more people reading my work.
What I really really want is to be
read. I want to share the one thing in this world I would cut my fingers off
for. I know. If I didn’t have any fingers, I wouldn’t be able to physically
write, but you know what I mean.
My
passion for writing comes with a perpetual replacement button, attached to my
side seam, just in case it becomes unraveled, and falls off, after a day
gallivanting through the publishing jungle. It can be tough in there, but in
the end, being an indie author is OH SO WORTH IT.
This
made me wonder … what’s everybody else’s story?
Then Indiestructible was born.
Need
motivation and inspiration to self-publish, or sign that contract with an
interested small press? Have you done all the research you can, but still feel
ambivalent about the idea? Indiestructible: Inspiring Stories from the
Publishing Jungle brings you the experiences of 29 indie
authors—their passions, their insights, their successes—to help you make the
leap into indie publishing.
This is not a how-to guide. This is the best of the indie tradition of experienced authors paying forward what they’ve learned, giving you information to help you on your journey. The personal essays in this book will leave you itching to get your work into the hands of readers and experience, first-hand, all the rewards indie publishing has to offer.

Not only is
this anthology packed full of interesting, unique, and genuinely helpful
information, and totally worth the 99c (only 99c!!!), 100% of proceeds will be donated
to BUILDON.org, a movement which breaks the cycle
of poverty, illiteracy, and low expectations through service and education.
Pretty amazing,
huh?

Besides, today she's featuring Alex J. Cavanaugh's book CassaStorm and there is also a prize there. You only have to leave a comment!
Christine's cover rocks and honored to be part of the anthology. And featured on Samantha's site!
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy to support my friends!
DeleteChanging the collection cover so that it doesn't, like the individual volumes, look like a romance book makes me more interested. Because there are many things I will read, but a romance book is not one of them.
ReplyDeleteSomehow didn't think you were the romance type, hahaha. It's okay Tony. There's something for everybody!
DeleteHi, FD,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are well.
Congrats to Christine, Jess, and Samantha ... all the best ladies!
Thanks Michael! Hope you're doing better too. :)
DeleteYes, Al,
DeleteI am... the cast come off today and I can type again! YAY! Still have to wear a splint and do physical therapy for a month or so, but at least I can take the splint off in leisure times. YAY, again...
I hope all is well with you, too!
Really great things!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Jess and Samantha!
