Adopt an Indie Month
November 2011: 'Adopt an Indie'
month
Many people feel there is still a stigma surrounding
self-published/small-press books but how many readers actually mind where the
book is coming from?
This experience is about bringing authors, readers and book bloggers
together to dispel some of the indie myths and show that if you're missing
indie, you're missing out.
What will people get?
Readers will be able to talk to published authors and learn about their
experiences
Authors will be able to find out what really matters to readers and if they
really care about the 'indie/SP/small press' labels
Bloggers can share their take – do they see traditional books as higher
quality? Does the publisher even matter?
In addition, as part of the 'Adopt an Indie' theme, readers will be able to
read and review one book from a selection available in order to see first hand
the quality that is on offer. In effect, they will 'adopt' that indie and be
able to ask more detailed questions about their work and get more of an insight
into the indie world.
What do you have to do?
Readers: register your interest here so I can let you know when you can start to register for
