A new message board for indie writers to connect with readers
I'd like to invite you all to a new forum where you can get to know indie authors and readers and discuss everything about the self-publishing process.
BestSellerBound.com
It's almost like an online reality show featuring new and up and coming authors who have taken the indie or self-publishing route. I am a moderator on the site along with my fellow authors Darcia Helle and Stacy Juba

Here's the official press release about the site:
Bestseller Bound Message Board Connects Indie Authors and Readers. Readers and indie authors now have a brand new place to interact. The message board, Bestseller Bound, is having its grand opening this week.
Author Darcia Helle created the forum with input from resident authors/moderators Stacy Juba and Maria Savva.
Here, readers will get a behind the scenes glimpse into what it’s like to be a small press or independently published author. Resident and visiting authors will chat with readers about writing a book, how they do research and get their ideas, how they market their books, and the challenges they face. They’ll share articles, stories and poems, as well as
special offers and discounts.
Readers are invited to hang out, ask questions and chat with tomorrow’s breakout writers. Small press and independently published authors are welcome to participate in the discussion, as well as post threads about their titles in the Connection Café, post a book trailer link, and browse the free Help Wanted section, where authors and book lovers can exchange guest blogging and review opportunities. Members can also receive a free quarterly newsletter packed with information about indie books.
Helle is the author of romantic suspense novels including The Cutting Edge, Enemies and Playmates, Miami Snow, Hit List, No Justice and Beyond Salvation. Juba is the author of the mystery novels Twenty-Five Years Ago Today and Sink or Swim, along with the patriotic children’s picture book The Flag Keeper. Savva’s published novels are Coincidences, A Time to Tell and Second Chances, and she has also published the short story collections Pieces of a Rainbow, and Love and Loyalty (and Other Tales.)
There are already lots of indie authors and a few readers on the board. We need lots more readers to ask us questions and take part. So please join and support your independent authors.
Everyone is welcome!
