The big publishers and Amazon would like nothing more than to leave indie authors believing that there is no hope for them going forward. Even Smashwords has jumped on the "it's only going to get harder for indie authors" bandwagon.
We disagree.
No, not every indie author is going to make it big, and not every indie author is going to be willing to put in the effort to make it at all. But for those authors who are willing to put in the time and the effort, it's never been easier to self-publish, keep your profits, and be the author you've always wanted to be.
Here we've gathered some of our best resources to make sure you're headed in the right direction.
