Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not talking to the wind here! My final post went up this morning, but I'll be around for the rest of the month to answer questions, if I can.

Where will you sell your book?

So, your manuscript is finished. You've polished it until it shines and you've had it edited. How do you get it published? Where do you get it published?

Today I'll share some of the potential dangers of indie publishing. The biggest one is pushing that "publish" button too soon. You and your book are going to be competing with hundreds of thousands...

There are no reliable statistics for KDP Select; it works for some, tanks for others. However, there's no reason to withdraw from Kindle--just don't choose the Select option. I'm at Amazon, B&N,...

Today we're going to talk about what you need for success in indie publishing. Following are a few of the guidelines from Mark Coker, founder and CEO of Smashwords. He's got a lot more pieces of...

Glad I can start clarifying things. There are a lot of misconceptions out there.

I'm Terry Odell, and I'll be leading what I hope is an open discussion of Indie Publishing over the next week or two. I've published 12 novels in the mystery and romantic suspense genres, as well as...
