Save Money on Professional Edits—6 Easy Ways to Clean Up Your Own Manuscript
Over my career I have literally edited thousands of works, most of them written by emerging writers. My greatest frustration always was (and still is) when I couldn’t even GET to critiquing the deeper story elements because I was too distracted by these all too common oopses.
Good editors are NOT cheap. There are also many editors who charge by the hour. If they’re spending their time fixing oopses you could’ve easily repaired yourself? You’re burning cash and time. Yet, correct these problems, and editors can more easily get to the MEAT of your novel. This means you will spend less money and get far higher value.

Take Advantage Of Smorgasbord’s Free Promos in 2017
Sally Cronin of Smorgasbord is a tireless supporter of writers in general and a wonderful friend of Indies in particular. She regularly offers for free services that others charge an arm and a leg for. For example, in 2016 she built the Cafe and Bookstore which now includes 120 authors and some 500 books.
Now, Sally wants to build up on this and use it as a promotional platform. At least twice a week, she will do a Cafe and Bookstore Update featuring the authors who are in the bookstore with their latest release and a review of their previous books, or with the most recent review for their last release. With three authors per update, this also results in extra coverage, as she asks the authors to share on their own networks. This drives more traffic to the post, benefiting all authors in the Cafe.

#PoweredByIndie: Amazon’s Latest Indie Initiative
Chris McMullen alerted me to a brand new Amazon initiative that aims at supporting Indie authors: the #PoweredByIndie hashtag. Amazon is encouraging indie authors to use the #PoweredByIndie hashtag on relevant social media posts, namely your own writing resolutions and indie book recommendations. So, be sure to add the tag to any tweets and posts about your Indie books, and hopefully they will be featured on Amazon.
Specifically, Amazon has created a landing page for indie authors’ writing resolutions and recommendations for indie books (it’s worth exploring, as the page includes many books and audio books geared toward writing and publishing):
http://www.amazon.com/newyearnewstories
Also check out regularly the Amazon KDP Facebook page for information straight from the horse’s mouth and various publishing tips:
