Welcome to the home of The Indy Author, where we explore the writing craft, the publishing voyage, and how we can find our way to the readers who will love our books.

Writing is a craft in both senses of the word, and independent author-publishers owe it to our reader-passengers to send them on their voyage in a seaworthy vessel. The publishing voyage can be a rough one, and it pays to benefit from the insights of your fellow creative voyagers. 

​As The Indy Author, I bring you lessons I've learned the hard way, plus insights from experts in the writing and publishing worlds. Below, you'll find links to The Indy Author Podcast and my books, TAKING THE SHORT TACK: CREATING INCOME AND CONNECTING WITH READERS USING SHORT FICTION and THE INDY AUTHOR'S GUIDE TO PODCASTING FOR AUTHORS .

Please join me on the journey on Facebook or Twitter, and stay in touch via my email newsletter--you can sign up on the About & Contact tab.
