Indie Reviews

There is lots of undiscovered indie talent out there and as self-publishing grows more popular so too will the stream of authors desperate to be recognised for their work. It's so hard to be found let alone successful in the indie market and I know myself we have to rely on the kindness of others to give us a leg up and achieve our dreams. The key to success is getting your book out there, which if you've read any of my other posts is about as easy as trying to thread a needle on a roller coaster.

It got me thinking that I have an hour for my lunch where I usually sit at my desk and catch up on the news, getting angry at the world. What if, instead, I spent that time reading? So I did this last month and Captain Huwzo lent a hand. We each took an indie book that caught our eye and have read and reviewed it on my new Reviews page.

Reviewing was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and it is also teaching me to criticise my own writing and products. As I dissected Joseph Kaye's work I started thinking about my own and what I could improve, hence the new cover, which is still a work in progress, but a step in the right direction.

When you're self-publishing you're basically taking trial and error steps each day, but the greatest thing about the adventure is the people you meet in the process. Advice is always on hand and you can discover some really talented people. So put your Indianna Jones' hat on, check out my Reviews page and discover some secret treasures.
