ONLY 99c TO HELP SUPPORT THE INDIE AUTHOR & AN AMAZING CHARITY!
by Jessica Bell
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?

ReplyDeleteIt's an awesome anthology!
ReplyDeleteI think it's totally natural to want to be read; that's what most writers want. I think it's similar to actors and musicians who want people to watch them perform. We work so hard on our stories; we want to be able to share them with other people.
ReplyDeleteI need to pick up that book.
ReplyDeleteI'm now following your blog. It's nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteThis seems really interesting!
