In 1849, people sold everything they owned and headed west on a rumor. Some came home rich. Most came home with a sack of iron pyrite. Indie publishing is grounded in the same frontier spirit. The gold is real. So is the pyrite. What you need is somebody who's already made the trip, sitting next to you with a cup of tea, telling you which is which. All five books, start to finish:
The Indie Writer's Philosophy. Staking out your claim and your business: how to spot the scams, and how to get your gold to the bank.
The Indie Writer's Presence. Website, blog, social media. Which ones are worth your time, and how to set up the ones you choose.
The Indie Writer's Phraseology. The language of the industry and the tools of the trade, so nobody can sell you pyrite.
The Indie Writer's Power Tools. Enough HTML and CSS to stop being afraid of your own files.
The Indie Writer's Practical Guide to Publishing. Step by step: where to publish, how to format, how to get into the markets.
Bring your beverage of choice. Plant sunflowers next to the cottage. Let's go dig.
