Welcome to our Inaugural Substack Indie Author Group Roundup.
Every Friday, we’ll be sharing the best of the blog, the group, and other items we've found during the week, to ensure we’re helping you with your career and to stay on top of the trends, information and knowledge you need to make the most of your writing, your brand, your social media. Hopefully, we’ll help you make the best choices and become your one stop shop for information and news!
On the Blog
We’ve had a blog refresh, which has been a lot of fun to plan and work through. Let us know what you think, though we’ll be refining it as we go, of course!
Our post announcing coming back is also live too - you can read and comment here.
We’ve also updated the moderator profiles for Valerie Douglas, Mary Ann Peden-Covellio and myself (Kai). We’re also slowly rolling out content after updating it. There are currently 143 articles in the pending queue that we’re fact checking and adding, so we’ll be keeping track of updated articles, and sharing them in the coming weeks.
We’ve also added an article request form - though, for now, we are closed to guest posting. If you’ve got burning questions you’d love answered though, as long as they’re pretty general and not individual in nature, please do head over to our form and let us know what you’d like to see!
On the Group
Valerie shared a post from Bookbub that we’ll be dissecting and discussing in the next few weeks - https://insights.bookbub.com/digital-marketing-takeaways-us-book-show-2022/
Marketing takeaways that are a great way to plan new and up to date campaigns, and see what works and what might or does not.
There have also been questions about software for text to speech, printing options and software to write novels with - got opinions or leads? Head over to the group and share them please!
Quote of the week…
To finish up this week, here’s something a little inspirational. Enjoy your weekend!
See you on the group!
