Indie-structible: Stories from the indie publishing jungle

Another way to celebrate "indie-pendence day" this week is by giving back and paying it forward.

Jessica Bell is compiling and editing an anthology called, INDIESTRUCTIBLE: INSPIRING STORIES FROM THE PUBLISHING JUNGLE, which will launch September 16, 2013. It will be sold as an e-book for 99c for the first six months. 

After that, it will be offered for free. Forever. During the time that it will accrue royalties, I will donate them all to BuildOn (www.buildon.org) who's mission is to break the cycle of povery, illiteracy and low education through service and education.

If you might be interested in spreading the word about this anthology (it’s for a great cause!), sign up here! :)

INDIESTRUCTIBLE: INSPIRING STORIES FROM THE PUBLISHING JUNGLE

Need motivation and inspiration to self-publish? 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 eleven 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 guide posts 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 of indie publishing.

All profits from Indiestructible: Inspiring Stories from the Publishing Jungle purchases will be donated to Build On.
