So, indie authors: we’ve all been there. You’ve carefully written your masterpiece, seen it through the editorial process and into print or electronic form. You’ve worked with your publisher on the cover or sourced one yourself, written the blurb and your author bio. You’ve researched your market thoroughly, know your target audience and have set the cover price. In short, you’ve done everything a traditionally-published author would do; creatively, perhaps even more. You’ve started to build a profile for yourself. Maybe you’ve got five-star reviews on Amazon, book trailers with numerous hits on YouTube, even been listed for awards. You’re holding signings, workshops and readings of your work. You’re a success.

Whether you want an obscure book on growing tomatoes or the ninth thriller in a series starring the same tough cop, type in the title and click.
