What is an Indie Author?
I certainly didn’t know until I decided to write a book.
It turns out that there are a few ways of getting a book printed or published. The majority of books are through what we know as Traditional Publishing. That is where you write a manuscript, approach a publisher (or perhaps multiple publishers) and hope that someone will take an interest in your book. If you are picked up by a Publisher, then they usually find an illustrator, and handle the printing, distribution and marketing of your book.
Another method is to go about the whole process independently. That is, you manage the entire process from writing, illustrating the book / finding an illustrator, engaging an editor, publishing, advertising and marketing. Those of us who go down this path are known as “Indie Authors”.
