1. What does “Indie” mean?
Ans. “Indie” is short for “Independent [Author];” in the publishing industry, it refers to an author who is (1) in charge of the entire publishing process from start to finish and (2) is not under contract to nor working with a professional publisher. Such authors will pay the money for the services and be responsible for marketing, distribution and sale of their books. “Indies” also work alongside contracted professionals to get the job done.
2. Who is an Authorpreneur?
Ans. The term is a combination of the words “author” and “entrepreneur.” It refers to an author who builds a business or creates products and services based on their books for impact and income.
3. How many words should I write?
Ans. This depends on the kind of book you are writing. The average book size for trade publishers is 60-80,000 words. I prefer to write smaller books between 15,000 and 45,000 words. My first book was approximately 67,000 words
