The Role of the Indie Press
Now I’m not unbiased here. I’m published by the indie press and the big thing they do for the world of literature is give many more authors a voice.
The world of books is richer for that. There is more choice out there. It is just a question of knowing where to look (and why it is even more vital for authors to have their own websites so we can point people in the right direction!).
Naturally authors like me who are published by the indie press will support said indie press. It is literally in our own interests to do so but I would like to encourage others to try out books brought out by them too.
The indie press does provide more variety so why shouldn’t we have that on our book shelves?
And a lot of the indie press will bring out short story, flash fiction, and poetry collections. That give us so much more variety in our reading and what’s not to like about that?
