The Heart ❤️ of an Indie


I love being an indie author. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
From a germ of an idea to the finishing touches of creating a book—I love being involved in the entire creative process. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
I love collaborating with amazing illustrators, who are just as passionate about telling a story with their images.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Every story, every book that I write and design is made with so much passion, persistence, determination, and most of all, courage.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
All indie authors know we need an armor of courage every single day, for the marketplace is huge, and the book world is overflowing with books. Many of these books are supported by big marketing machines—the likes of which a true indie author/self-publisher will struggle to replicate. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
But we’ve got brave hearts 💕 and an overflowing passion for telling stories⁣.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
We wear so many hats—not just that of a writer. Many of us assume the roles of a copy editor, graphic designer, publicist, literary agent, editor, publisher, marketer, storyteller, blogger, social media manager… you name it. Some even illustrate their own books—I haven’t gone down this road…yet. ⁣We do it all and we make it look EASY even though it’s not. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
So I salute all the indie authors/self-publishers out there who are making their dreams come true! ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
You are amazing and I love 💕 being part of such a supportive indie author community.
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
We root for each other, we encourage each other, we give praise where it’s due. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
If there is room for more books on your shelf, try some books written by indie authors. There are so many amazing indie books out there waiting to be discovered! ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
