Mark Shaw's Blog - Posts Tagged "indie"

My name is Mark Shaw. And i have a plan to draw as much attention to indies writer's/ self publisher's from the outside world as possible. I feel like many talented authors are getting lost in the shuffle so to speak .And are struggling to gain ground with their books. So i wanted to do something to draw attention to our industry,by getting as many authors as i could to hold up a nice big picture(poster) of their titles, for all to see, under one hashtag,( #IndieBooksBeSeen) and all on the same day every year,starting this year on July 1, 2014.It would speak volumes.You'd be promoting your books, getting more curious people to check it out and showing unity all at the same time....It's a big dream of mine to make indie the mainstream.Indie authors out there,i hope you`ll join us in the first stage off uplifting our industry!

July18th:#Indieauthors,Go online,find an indie author with little to no book reviews,And review them! Post who you reviewed and book title
Under the Hashtag #IndieBooksBeSeen. Goodreads is one good source or wherever you prefer..I'm sure if you tell that author of the task at hand,they'll provide with a copy of that book..You can use the hashtag on Twitter and Facebook.

Indie authors; It's time to step our game up and move forward into the future.As you all know,through #Indiebooksbeseen,Myself and other indie authors are leading the charge for positive change in our industry.And we're coming up with innovative ways to make this happen.July 18 indiebooksbeseen day is a day where indie authors come together in support of one another.This years indie day was a huge success,and i expect next years to be even more crazy.Now i've come up with a game changer with the physical book teaser.In the video http://youtu.be/Lw1a45_lbT8 i explain where i'm going with this book teaser thing and tell you alittle more about other workings of the movement.Indie authors we can ride this train right into the future.I want to make Indie Trendy...stay tuned!
