The Self-Published Blogger Challenge

First things first, it’s not me hosting this. It’s author Mark Lawrence.

This weekend, Mark contacted me and bounced his idea off of me regarding this self-published author/blogger challenge. We toyed with it back and forth a bit, and he, of course, perfected it. I volunteered right off the bat because it sounded like an amazing opportunity. In reality, I really want to read more self-published books, but it’s hard with all the books I get, unless I set specific time aside to read self-published books and make room for them.

Which is exactly what this project is going to do for me. I will get to read self-published books. I will get to give deserving authors some much needed attention, all attached to the powerhouse name Mark Lawrence. That’s exactly what I like to do. It’s why I keep this website working. It’s a win/win in a lot of respects.

This is definitely a project people should pay attention to.

Right now, Mark has received 165 books. He’s going to close off submissions on March 6. To read more about this project, click here. To read more about submissions, click here.

Self-published authors, in a lot of ways, face an uphill battle. I think Mark’s project is a valiant one, and I sincerely hope it will help those who have worked so hard and have submitted their works.
