description: This book is for every author who's thinking about indie publishing or has already taken the leap and wonders why no one told them about the sharks the life-sucking social media quicksand or the best way to avoid sales-checking yellow-spotted fever. This is a guide for the heart as much as the head. And because I promised myself that I wouldn't write a book about how I made a gazillion dollars publishing ebooks I would write about the fear: owning it overcoming it facing it. From a person who didn't pursue a creative life for a long time and then discovered creativity can set you free.Note: gazillion is a technical term which in this case means something less than a million and more than the average income in my state.Susan Kaye Quinn is the author of the bestselling Mindajck Trilogy and Debt Collector serial and has been indie publishing since 2011. Shes not an indie rockstar or a breakout success: shes one of thousands of solidly midlist indie authors making a living with their works. This book is a compilation of her four years of blogging through changes in the publishing industryupdated revised and supplemented to be relevant in 2013. Its a guide to help her fellow writer-friends take their own leaps into the wild (and wonderful) world of indie publishing... and not only survive but thrive.
