I get to talk at the Pikes Peak Romance Writers about indie publishing on October 23, and I’m trying to brainstorm a handout. Here’s a draft…   Want to put up an ebook but don’t know how?  (Or just want more facts before you make up your mind?) Here are the bare minimum steps you

I recently experimented with putting up my first free story to Amazon, and am working on my second. A caveat: I wouldn’t put stories up for free if they weren’t there to do more for you than just spread your name around.  I think they should be there to lead people to specific stories–if you

Writers, publishers, readers (mostly readers) – where do you get recommendations for your favorite independent books? Because good grief, I’m having problems finding out anything beyond: Book reviewers that have reviewed my books Book reviewers that I meet online via Twitter/FB Kindle boards Nook boards Goodreads has LOTS of indy books listed, but if you’re
