INDIESTRUCTIBLE
by Jessica Bell
ONLY 99c TO HELP SUPPORT THE INDIE AUTHOR & AN AMAZING CHARITY!
The day I realized I’d been obsessing over my sales figures
way too much was the day I closed my eyes and tried to think about the real
reason I am an indie author.
Is my primary goal to make money? No. So why do I keep
obsessing over my sales stats? I realized it’s because more sales means more
people reading my work. What I really really want is to be read. I want to
share the one thing in this world I would cut my fingers off for. I know. If I
didn’t have any fingers, I wouldn’t be able to physically write, but you know
what I mean.
My passion for writing comes with a perpetual replacement
button, attached to my side seam, just in case it becomes unraveled, and falls
off, after a day gallivanting through the publishing jungle. It can be tough in
there, but in the end, being an indie author is OH SO WORTH IT.
This made me wonder … what’s everybody else’s story?
Then Indiestructible was born.
Need motivation and inspiration to self-publish, or sign
that contract with an interested small press? Have you done all the research
you can, but still feel ambivalent about the idea? Indiestructible:
Inspiring Stories from the Publishing Jungle brings you the experiences of
29 indie authors—their passions, their insights, their successes—to help you
make the leap into indie publishing.
This is not a how-to guide. This is the best of the indie tradition of experienced authors paying forward what they’ve learned, giving you information to help you on your journey. The personal essays in this book will leave you itching to get your work into the hands of readers and experience, first-hand, all the rewards indie publishing has to offer.

Not only is this anthology packed full of interesting, unique,
and genuinely helpful information, and totally worth the 99c (only 99c!!!), 100% of proceeds will be donated to BUILDON.org, a movement which breaks the
cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and low expectations through service and
education.
Pretty amazing, huh? What are you waiting for?
