Resources and tips for the self-published author.

We love hosting #indiechat, our weekly Twitter chat that takes place every Tuesday from 9pm-10pm EST on Twitter. We’re taking a break for the holidays will be back on 1/8/2014 to talk about beta readers. 

There are always new tools popping up for authors everyday. One that stands out in particular is a tool called BookVibe Alerts. BookVibe Alerts simply let’s you input your book information into the console and keep track of all your book mentions on Twitter.

Every week we host #indiechat. We invite industry experts and authors to discuss and share tips on the indie and publishing landscape. #Indiechat is held every Tuesday at 9pm EST. You can check out our previous chat logs on BiblioCrunch Storify.

If you are a self published author, I am sure you can recall a time not so long ago when finding ways to distribute and market your book was a Herculean challenge. You had to be creative, business savvy, and sometimes a little demanding in order to get the recognition and respect you deserved.

Last night we had book marketing maven Joel Friedlander as our guest for #indiechat, our weekly Twitter chat for self-published  authors, where he shared tips on how to build your author base on Twitter.

Hey, wrimos! As we mentioned before, we’re an official sponsor for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).

When I self-published my book, “The Dark Proposal” in September 2012, I thought I had a good idea on how to market and promote my book.
