Anyone who has struggled in their life. I waited until I finished. Not the writer in me. Empower yourselves and remember who you truly are, an interdimensional being living in this third-dimensional “world” which some call reality. Still in Chicago. Put your money in the editing. I don’t really have a process per se. About […]

Any advice that you would like to give to other newbies considering becoming Indie authors? My book was done and I didn’t want to wait.

IndieView with Aaron C. Cross, author of Robocopter Ski Patrol
I was turned down from several MFA writing programs, which was disheartening, and decided to just write something and get it out there. However, when there are days that writing isn’t coming easily, I often go back and do some editing then to get myself refreshed on the story and see where I can go […]
IndieView with M.R. Pilot, author of A Bloodline’s Echo
Self-discipline. But once it became this world with characters that felt real, I was like, oh, maybe someone else will like it, I’ll indie publish. But to describe who I think would most relate to the story, it’d probably be a young adult girl who has dealt with some familial strife and/or felt like they […]

IndieView with B.J. Mendelson, author of Privacy
What came easily? There’s a lot of porn involved. I was taking graduate classes at the University at Buffalo, mostly due to boredom, and some of the research from those classes took me into the realm of privacy. George Carlin, Charles Bukowski (or at least, the David Duchovny version of Bukowski from “Californication.”) Bill Hicks. […]

IndieView with C.R. Leverette author of Trouble in Peaceful Haven
Do you have a target reader? About the book What is the book about? I love dreaming up planets, alien life, and everything that comes along with it. This is usually pretty light and not overly in-depth. I began writing the book in early 2015. Both. I thought that blending the two together could be […]
IndieView with Robert Barlow Jr, author of D.O.G.: Executive Order
I am hoping this interview will also help spread the word. I lived there until I completed college. What made you decide to go Indie, whether self-publishing or with an indie publisher? and the Executive Order paper was my idea, but the cover was created by a professional, who did an exceptional job. Unfortunately, I […]

About Publishing Did you submit your work to Agents? Are your characters entirely fictitious or have you borrowed from real world people you know? I’ve always loved reading indie authors, and shopping indie book stores, etc. Now the crew numbers five. If so can you please describe it? Joshua Dalzelle’s Omega Force was a big […]
IndieView with Brian Corley, author of Ghost Bully
Those three weeks I had in May were amazing because I spent five hours or so writing and was able to knock out a first draft, but I have a job again now, so my creative process is to write every morning for an hour and a half or so. It took me about three […]
IndieView with Joshua Shea, author of The Addiction Nobody Will Talk About
Despite still having shame and embarrassment that will stick to me forever, I knew I could share my story in a way other’s could not.

IndieView with Alison Baird, author of The House of the Wolf
Where did you get the idea from? We all know how important it is for writers to read. My usual procedure is to write a rough outline first and then ignore it completely once the writing starts to flow! I just picture myself as a young reader, think of what I enjoyed most in books […]
Could the children’s books in your attic fetch a price at New York’s Antiquarian Book Fair?
Precious as untouched books may be, their real value — to me at least — is in reading them.
