Indie Author Resources

Writing and self publishing are not only difficult but confusing if you don't know where to turn! After a few years in this business, I've gathered some resources and tools that any indie author must have in their kit. Here you will find cover and promo tips, websites, and referrals from sources that I have used in the past. If I've used it, it has a description. Other sites have been recommended. I hope this page helps any troubled author!
