Disadvantage of an Independent Publisher
The author is financially responsible for the
publishing and printing fees and for sales and
distribution, including the book launch. This is
where commitment, self-discipline and sacrifice
come to play. Thankfully, there are now many
independent publishers, like myself; “Indie
Publishers” as they are referred to in the industry;
and authors have a wide range of independent
publishers to choose from.
The Role of An Independent (Indie)
Publisher is, first and foremost, to implement a
book rollout treatment plan that will produce a
professionally designed book that meets the
publishing industry standards. Secondly, to ensure
that the author retains exclusive copyrights to their
content and created work. Finally, the Indie
Author’s role is to provide a publishing imprint to
enhance the book as a business project.
The Markings of a Writer
A passion for reading is the first indication that
there is a writer in you. You cannot write, unless
you read, and read widely. You must also have a
broad knowledge of books and authors.
