If your interaction with my office prompted my post, don’t …

Is independent publishing for you? Find out as we talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of indie publishing. But first, some background: I am an indie author. Worked with some very successful and profitable indie authors over the last 10 years. Also worked with a lot of indie authors who were frustrated and disillusioned.
