Adopt An Indie - November 2011

I'm participating in Adopt an Indie, this November. My book The Dream is among over 100 books being featured in this event.







You can 'adopt' an indie author by choosing his or her book to read and review, from the list, request the book using the 'Book Request Form' on the site. If your request is successful, you'll receive a free ebook version of the book to read and review!

It's a great way for readers and bloggers to find out more about independent authors.

Here's a link to the site: Adopt an Indie

My guest blog post, which will appear on the site on 1st November, is entitled Why "I'm self published" is not the same as "My novel wasn't good enough to be published traditionally"

I will be posting a link here when it's been posted. I hope you'll all stop by and have a look at the books that are available on the site, and if you have time please participate, either by spreading the word about the event, reading and reviewing some of the books, reading the guest posts, commenting on the blog posts.

Here's a bit more information about 'Adopt an Indie' month that I've taken from the website:

* 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.
