Alex from Tales of a Teenage Book Lover is hosting an amazing campaign that supports Indie Authors. I, for one love reading books that are self-published or come from small publishers. There are fascinating books out there who unfortunately get lost in the shuffle due to lack of marketing and publicity. This is why I love blogging and promoting authors who might not have the references to get their book out there. I've been introduced to authors who have touched my life not only with their writing but their friendships as well.
Some authors that I feel have an extraordinary voice as indie authors are:
- Jacquelyn Wheeler (Rising Shadow + Merger)
- Abra Ebner (Book of Love + Book of Revenge)
- Brenda Pandos (The Emerald Talisman)
- Keary Taylor (Branded: Fall of Angels)
- Jess C. Scott (EyeLeash: A Blog Novel)
- Tisha Kulak Tolar (Gen X)
- Sasha Soren (Random Magic)
- Estevan Vega (Arson)
- Emma Michaels (The Thirteenth Chime)
- Kelly Oram (Being Jamie Baker)
- Anne Burnside (The Sultan's Favorite: A Phantom Of The Opera Story)
- Bill Walker (A Note From An Old Acquaintance)
- Emma Kinna (A House Afire)
- L. Diane Wolfe (The Circle of Friends Series)
- Anna Mitchael (Just Don't Call Me Ma'am: How I Ditched the South, Forgot My Manners, and Managed to Survive My Twenties with (Most of) My Dignity Still Intact)
I've also made my own button for the campaign, below is the link:
