"Why Indie Authors Don't Sell Books"

The main reason why indie authors don't sell a substantial amount of books has little to do with their writing ability but rather their inability to think like entrepreneurs and sell their products--books, their business and themselves--as an entire package. To set a goal to simply "publish" a book will only lead to disappointment later when in fact, you should set your goal to "sell" books with "publishing" being nothing more than a step towards accomplishing and obtaining the overall prize.

If you truly believe your passion or gift of words would benefit the world, then you must discover ways to market and sale your art, for how else can the world discover you to then become inspired?

"The Truth Within Fiction"



"One of the most difficult aspects of being an author of fiction is first having to explore the depths of your own soul and psyche in order to create real characters that are believable beyond doubt despite being fantasy, folklore or myth. Once you have dared to journey the corridors of your own soul you then have to discover ways to mask the fact that so much of yourself, so much of your very existence, lies naked and exposed in written text on every page and apparent within every character you conjure from within the figment of your imagination."
