Hi all...I'm an indie writer using three different pen names for three different genres (well, it seemed a good idea at the time). Diana X. Dunn writes thriller/mystery novels; D. X. Dunn writes middle grade adventures and Diana Xarissa writes romance set in the Isle of Man. I'm still very new to all of this and am looking forward to learning a lot from everyone here!
My name is Taylor Grace, romance author and just starting out. Thanks for the invite to the group. My blog is:http://www.taylorgraceauthor.wordpres...
I'm excited to be in this group and hope to meet other new authors starting out.
Xavier wrote: "Hi there, Diana and Taylor"are you a new author, Xavier? Do you have a book out there?
Hi, Taylor,I've been self-publishing for a little over a year, now, so I'm still rather wet behind the ears.
As to book(s) I've published -- If you look at my GR profile, you'll see the list of titles I've published so far (including being able to download some of the free ones right from GR). I don't think it appropriate to clutter this thread with a list of what I've put out.
What about you?
I've just started out. I just self-published in amazon in July. What advice would you give me to try and get my book reviewed? or even how to get started getting the word out?
Hi i'm A H Gray, i'm an indie author and i have just recently published my debut historical fiction, The Northumbrian Saga. I'm still learning all the processes involved in not just writing and publishing but promoting too. I love reading all sorts of different books and genres, including of course historical fiction of most time periods.Looking forward to learning more about this group
Hi there, A H.@ Taylor - If you take a look at the Amazon pages for my books, you'll see that I don't have too many reviews up for my titles, but that's because I don't tend to push hard for them from readers. I distribute free copies to people who want to review, and look through the various GR groups in the genre and see whether they have R2R or similar review activity in place.
As to getting the word out, I think I'm still struggling with that, but keep at it and sooner or later people will start finding your work. It took over a month before I made my first sale.
My name is John Logsdon and I'm an author/co-author working in the following genres: fantasy humor, science fiction humor, and kid's science fiction.Nice to meet you all!
Hi guys, my names David Chattaway. I just finished my debut novella which is a thriller set against the picturesque backdrop of Lake Michigan.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

My name is Robert and I currently reside in Tennessee. I am on my final edit of the first novel of my series Badlands, a Western/Horror/Action-Adventure/Fantasy series. At this point I am on the final edit of the first novel (should be released in a couple of weeks after my Editor finishes). I have rough drafts of a second novel, an anthology, and a prequel novella in the wings as well (I will keep those projects a bit hushed for now as they might spoil the first novel). The stories are all intended to be stand alone but there are plot points that carry from each one.I have some short stories for Badlands up on Amazon as well. My links are below, thanks
