Dear Indie Author
Dear Indie Author, Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the prospect of publishing your book all on your own? It's a common fear, but guess what? You're not alone. I'm Shonda Ramsey, your host and fellow indie author, and I've been there too. But here's the thing: fear shouldn't hold us back from sharing our stories with the world. That's why I've gathered a team of incredible industry professionals, published authors, and fellow writers who understand the journey all too well. Together, we'll navigate the self-publishing process, one step at a time, one word at a time. Because every writer deserves to see their words in print. So, whether you're just starting out or you've hit a roadblock, I've got your back. Welcome to Dear Indie Author: Where we inspire creative independence in every writer. Interested in being a guest?
