How to Create an Author Brand Style Guide in 5 Easy Steps
A brand style guide is the one-page reference that keeps you consistent everywhere a reader might find you: covers, website, social, email. Skip it, and every platform you touch ends up looking like it belongs to a slightly different author. Build one, and readers start recognizing you before they even register your name.

Fall Creator Roundup: Books, Music, Merch, Blogs, Podcasts & More From Jaime David
Fall is here. The weather is getting cooler, the holidays are getting closer, and eventually we're all going to look up and realize that somehow the year is almost over. So I figured this would be a good time to do something a little different. Instead of telling you about somebody else's products, affiliate programs, or holiday deals, let's talk about my own shit. Because if you've been following me for a while, you probably already know that I do a lot. I write books. I make music. I […] -

The Review-to-Discovery Pipeline
P ublishing is a long game, one where any semblance of success is built on a series of small but very meaningful victories. It’s difficult enough summoning the courage to share your work with the world. It’s another thing entirely to seek out a published opinion.

When Literary Titan Put My Book on Their Podcast
There are certain moments in an author's journey that stand out forever. Publishing a book is already a surreal experience. For years, a story exists only in your imagination. It lives inside your head. Then, eventually, you take that idea and turn it into something physical. You write the words, edit the manuscript, format the pages, create the cover, and finally release it into the world. But once a book is released, something else happens. You have to let go. The story that was once […] -

What Should Authors Do with a Negative Review?
At IndieReader, reviews are the work. We read them all day, write plenty of them, and spend our time helping authors make sense of the ones that land hard. So we'll put this plainly: a negative review can feel like a door quietly, or loudly, closing. It can read like a rejection, a private no from a gatekeeper who decided your book was not what they were looking for.

Pop-Up Books: The Production Reality Behind Books That Move, Fold, and Function, with Anna Featherstone and Kelli Anderson
Most indie authors know print-on-demand. Pop-up and movable books inhabit a very different world — one of hand-assembly, specialist printers, and minimum print runs that make the economics unlike anything in standard publishing. In this episode, Anna Featherstone talks with Kelli Anderson, paper engineer and author of Alphabet in Motion, about what it actually takes to bring a movable book to life. They cover the manufacturing process, working with printers, using Kickstarter to fund a 25,000-copy print run, and where a curious author might begin if this form is calling to them.

Book PR & Marketing: Articles to Help You Manage Expectations
Many of my new business calls focus on:
The differences between marketing and PR
What does media/PR for an author look like
Why reviews are hard to come by
What leads to sales
Fact vs. fiction in terms of book tours
Why advertising doesn’t directly sell books but why you should still do it
Why social media isn’t for everyone and building a platform takes a long time
Why the word viral should be used minimally
Why I can’t promise one’s book will be a BookTok sensation
Here are a few articles in recent months that every writer should carefully read.

How My Debut Book “Wonderment Within Weirdness” Won a 4-Star Literary Titan Award
There are moments in life that do not fully register at first. Moments where you stare at a screen, reread the same sentence multiple times, and wonder if what you are seeing is actually real. For me, one of those moments came when I found out that my debut book, Wonderment Within Weirdness, had received a 4-star silver award from the Literary Titan. Now, before anyone misunderstands what I am saying, no, the Literary Titan award is not the Pulitzer Prize. It is not one of those century-old […] -
