As I write this, I am locked away in my bedroom while my husband and son play. The door is closed so he doesn’t see me and I don’t get distracted by his chubby cheeks and cheeky smile. But the door can’t block out the giggles and laughter and I want to know what’s so [...]

Last Tuesday was a low day.  The day began well, but then it went down hill fast. The kids were happy. We went to the shops to buy party supplies for my toddlers birthday. Then I got a rather brutal rejection from a publisher (low). Five minutes later my cover designer sent me a mock [...]

For those of you who have read my book or follow me on social media, the above name may not be new to you. Or, you may already be a big fan of the author already. Elise has been the wonderful and very patient editor I've worked with on a few projects now. I say patient because every [...]

First of all, my apologies on the lack of content on the website since my last author interview. I'll be the first to admit I'm terrible at updating the site and have so many plans, but never seem to prioritise making them a reality. I chose to end the self publishing author interviews as I [...]

This month's interview is a little different. You see, Alessandra Torre began her career as a self published author and became a New York Times bestselling author. The publishers then came calling and she did traditionally publish but despite getting what most writers dream about, she continues to self publish as well as publish traditionally.  On top of [...]

I first became aware of Bree Darcy (aka Stephanie Pegler) when I heard her interviewed on the awesome podcast Your Creative Life. (Highly recommend all writer's subscribe to this podcast). I was aware of Stephanie's website Chicklit Club but not the lady behind it, and certainly not aware that despite having contacts in the publishing world, [...]

I first met Adrian at a Writers Victoria course that he was running on self publishing. His energy, enthusiasm and success with self publishing inspired everyone at the course and J.R Knight and myself definitely benefited from his knowledge.  His food snaps are drool worthy and if you're a foodie or even if you just like food, I recommend following [...]

I have had many boyfriends over the years, just most of them were fictional. A book boyfriend will never let you down. You can leave him on the shelf and know he will be there whenever you need him, or you can pick him up again  and again and fall in love with him all [...]

Jake and I met back in February where we both attended a Writers Victoria self publishing course. We clicked because we both wanted the same thing: we already had a work of fiction we were about to publish and working on bigger projects we hoped to get published traditionally. We also clicked with our love for social media - Instagram for [...]

Welcome to the post where once a month I feature a indie author for you to meet and agree with me about how awesome they are.  These posts are a great insight into the world of self publishing and the various reasons people do it.  If you're new to the website I recommend going through the [...]
