Let’s face it: self-publishing is a difficult path to take. Contrary to what we often hear, for those serious about sucess, the process is anything BUT easy. Getting involved with the online writing community helps make your journey easier, but you inevitably run into a situtation were you’re asked to support those in te community with you.
There are endless options for supporting fellow indie authors, whether it’s lending a friendly ear, offering advice, purchasing a book, offering a review or posting a comment on a blog post. We want to hear your ideas, though! Tell us:
- How do you support your fellow indie authors?
- Do you feel pressure to help out other indies, or does it come easily to you?
- Have you found favorite authors through the online indie community?
- Do you offer honest reviews/opinions of fellow indies’ work? Do you feel obligated to be positive?
- What’s the most common way you find indie authors to connect with?
Please leave a comment below addressing any (or all) of the above questions. Also, please send the discussion along to your friends whether they’re authors or not — we’d love to get a varied input.
