The
Internet: Uniting Readers with Today’s Indie Authors
Gone are the days when editors held the golden keys to The
Magical Land of Story. Gone are the days when their own tastes denied the
reader of a heart-pounding, page-turning book (Harry Potter was rejected
several times before it finally was given a chance). (Say, what?) Or a
publisher’s inclination to stay within their comfort zone bypasses a
step-out-of-the-box title from an emerging author for another tried-and-true
book in the Magic Tree House or Goosebumps series, for example (how many are
there?). The internet and ebook publishing are bridging the gap
between Indie Authors with good stories to tell and Pioneering Readers with a
passion for tales.
Of course, this new relationship isn’t a random mistake that
has spun out of technology. Seasoned Indie Authors, who take pride in their
craft and work diligently to bring the best stories to hopeful readers, are
winning more and more readers away from the Gate Keepers every day, simply by offering wonderful stories at a reasonable price. Which is great, because reasonable prices
make everyone sleep a whole lot better, which puts everyone in a great mood,
which leads to random acts of kindness, which… well, you get my point. Indie
Authors make the world go round. Not only that, they unite it.
Today, the relationship between reader and
author is more transparent, more direct, than ever before. Walls
made of agents, publicists, book buyers, and distributors don’t exist between
the Pioneering Reader and Indie Author. Writing, itself, no longer seems to be
an elusive, mysterious, solitary art. All that exists in this
technologically-driven relationship is an author offering his book and a reader
willing to take a peek at what lies beneath the cover.
Today’s Indie Author works harder than ever to connect with
readers, because Indie Authors know that readers are the final part of
the equation when it comes to creating stories. Without readers,
what meaning would any stories hold? Readers make any story complete. Readers
are the final, can’t-be-ignored seasoning in the perfect bowl of stew. If writers make the world go round, readers are the axis around which it
spins.
And you know what? A happy, spinning world allows parties to
happen!!!!
Spring Fling
takes flight this week when a select group of more than 30 Indie Authors offer
their ebooks for FREE from May 7-9!
Many of these authors have already
won awards and have made it on the bestseller lists, and they are stepping out
in this event with new titles!
At these “prices” you won’t be disappointed. With the wide
range of styles and genres to choose from, I’m willing to bet you’ll find a new
favorite Indie Author to wave and rave about, not because of a commercial, or a
tie-in to a movie at the cinema, or because it seems like a safe bet, but
because you set out like a pioneer and discovered him yourself.
