We spend a lot of time covering independent authors on GalleyCat, bringing news from the self-publishing world every week.
In an effort to consolidate our reporting, we will release a monthly Self-Publishing Intelligence Report that links to all of our resources for indie authors. Below, we’ve linked to our bestseller lists and the top news stories about this booming corner of the publishing industry.
If you are an author, find some support in our directory of writers looking for writing groups.
