The Truth Behind Becoming An Indie Author

by Ben Brown

I have been an indie author for nine years now, and I’ve picked up a few tricks along the way. In the hopes of saving you some of your hard-earned cash, I want to pass these tricks and tips onto you. The reason for doing this is simple. I have noticed a growing industry targeting new authors. This industry is making vast amounts of money by selling inexperienced authors overpriced services and tutorials. Let me make this clear, you can publish your book on a very tight budget. This short guide will show you how.

About the author

Ben Brown was born in Reading, England. He struggled through school academically. Diagnosed with dyslexia meant being removed from class to attend ‘remedial” lessons. Ben did not enjoy reading and writing, and left school early to work with his father as a builder. It wasn’t until his mid-twenties that Ben persisted in teaching himself to read — and finally read his first novel.

Ben emigrated to Perth, Western Australia in 1990 where he now lives with his wife Michelle and two teenage children, Chelsea and Zac.

He planned his first novel each day while working as a bricklayer, to pass the hours. His love of scientific facts, futuristic possibilities, and fast-paced action infects his plots and writing style.

Sensible, down to earth advice

If you want to publish an ebook on Amazon, or anywhere else, and money is tight, read this. I cannot disagree with any of the advice given.

Don’t spend what you don’t have. If you are lucky and get rich, spend the money then. Not before.

Don’t spend another penny on Software or Courses or Editors or Cover Design before you read this.

An honest read

So refreshing to read a book that explains the indie author process warts and all instead of false promises to get rich. It was like Ben Brown sat me down and levelled with me.
