As you may know, I don’t blog about writing here at Blogging Through The Fire any more. Instead I publish a weekly newsletter called The Candid Writer. This week, I’ve interviewed 3 top ranked Indie authors and asked for their advice on 4 areas newbie Indies want to know more about:

• What are the top 3 tools available to the Indie or self-pubbed author who wants to be widely read?
• What are the top 3 things that the about-to-be self-pubbed or indie author needs to know about today’s market?
• What are the top 2, in your opinion, advantages and disadvantages to self-pubbing in today’s market?
• What are the 3 most important lessons you’ve learned as an indie author – whether they were successes or failures.

Big thanks to Indie authors Kait Nolan, Diane Capri, and Jillian Dodd who were kind enough to answer my questions. Enjoy!!

Next week’s Candid Writer will offer tips and tricks for building platform on Facebook! Don’t miss it. Read this week’s Indie issue here.
