📝 Reviews for the The Indie Author"This is not a short book, but I binge-read the whole thing in less than 72 hours. I started reading with the intention of only consuming a few pages and then, hours later, I was still lying on my bed with eye strain, but I couldn’t stop myself from reading just one more interview…and then one more, and one more after that."//I’m an indie author myself so, yes, of course the 50 interviews with indie authors in this book resonated with me. But I think this book is also a hidden gem for those who are unpublished, or who are not writing at all as they are still getting over the fear of starting."//"The people in this book come from all walks of life—and I mean ALL walks of life—and from all over the world. One of the things I found the most fascinating was hearing about all the different jobs people are working at while they pursue their writing dreams. Translators, accountants, scientific researchers, teachers, stay-at-home parents, school bus drivers, you name it. It gave me so much hope that writing a book really can be accomplished no matter what kind of unconventional life situation you might be in."//"The other thing I loved (and the reason I’ll be recommending it to all my writer friends and my writer clients) is that it is a true treasure trove of information on marketing. The authors in these interviews share the nitty-gritty of what’s worked for them, what hasn’t, and how they feel about all of it."//"You can save yourself hours of research on Google simply by reading this book and experimenting with what you find inside. The authors interviewed write in genres ranging from fantasy to literary fiction, to self-help and business, to poetry and memoir, and you’ll find marketing tips and information covering everything, as well as how to be a one-person book marketing team without losing your mind."//"Finally, what touched my heart so deeply was how each author answered the question: “What would you tell your younger self as a writer?” Just about every single person said some variation of, “Don’t be afraid. Just do it. Write. Follow your heart and write the stories inside you. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do it, because you are a writer.” It brought tears to my eyes when I read someone’s answer to this question, every time."//
"The description of this book is right on target and more true than anything I can say here: “If you call yourself a writer, if you are an aspiring writer, or you are someone who wants to write a book one day, this book is for you.” I’d like to add, “Even if you are someone who is still too afraid to claim yourself as a writer but you know you have a story inside you, this book is for you too.” I think this book will give so many writers so much inspiration to follow their dreams and never look back. Truly an invaluable read."//"If you are struggling to publish your first book on your own then this is the book for you. I started reading it last year and since then I have been reading one interview a day and today in the afternoon I happened to complete it. Please do read this book and become your own boss by taking all the creative control in your hands."
