[close] "My head is bloody, but unbowed.... I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul." - William Earnest Henley To promote the struggling indie writers of the world, we need a common place that we can gather, talk, share our book information, and be granted the much-needed early support of our peers. All indie authors begin in warfare. The struggle to find readers, to generate reviews, and to manage criticism and disappointment. Our purpose here is to create a network of similarly at-odds authors. A place where we can rely on one another to read the work, review it, and offer advice in terms of readability, marketing, and networking.

[close] The focus of this group is to bring together independent creative talents to support the work of talented writers and encourage diversification in publishing. Our goal is to support indie writers who bring their vision of the world around them. Because we aren't all the same, the stories we create should not be forced into a box that produces carbon-copied experiences. Stories should give a unique framed accounting of the world based solely on the view of the individual who is sharing his/her creation with us.
