The Best 10 Blogs for the Indie Author

  • Buffer

As we said earlier this week, it is so important for indie authors to be educated in all things publishing and writing related. On Monday, we gave you a list of books that you should have in your library. Yet, because the industry is changing on an almost daily basis (did you hear that HarperCollins’s sci-fi/fantasy imprint, Harper Voyager, will be accepting unagented manuscripts from October 1 – 14?), books, though tried and true, aren’t necessarily the most up-to-date sources of information. If you’re not following and keeping up with what’s going on in the blogosphere, you should be!

Other than our blog, below are some fantastic blogs for the indie author on industry news, writing, publishing, and marketing:

  1. Fine recommendations, and thank you for posting those! I especially like and often read Kristen Lamb.

    I’d like to also recommend author Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s fine blog, ‘The Business Rusch,’ which has weekly and exhaustive posts on every aspect of both traditional as well as Indie and self-publishing, and is the single most useful resource I’ve come across (sample post: http://kriswrites.com/2012/08/29/the-business-rusch-a-warning-to-all-writers-who-need-help-indie-publishing/ )

    Additionally, I’d like to take the opportunity, if I may, to mention my own blog, and especially my recent 3-part series on Trad v Indie, of which the first post is at http://dariospeaks.wordpress.com/2012/08/16/the-great-self-publishing-debate-round-one/ . I frequently blog about publishing and self-publishing, and hope your readers might find something of value on my blog.

    (By way of a late introduction, I’m an author as well as the founder/editor of micropress Panverse Publishing. Panverse launched in 2009 with the Panverse all-novella SF&F anthology series, stories from which have been nominated for several of the SF&F field’s highest awards. My own nonfiction work, ‘Aegean Dream’, also published by Panverse, was #1 in both Kindle UK >Greece categories for 14 weeks and is approaching sales of 3,000 since March of this year.)
