Literally Speaking: Rockin’ the Self-Publishing World
What Pokras Toz found online was a supportive and helpful world of self-publishers. “Everyone wants to help each other,” she exclaims. “They were so welcoming. One person took me under his wing and showed me everything I needed to get published.”
Toz first discovered this online self-publishing community through LinkedIn, joining several author groups on that site. That led her to Facebook and a variety of blogs. “Before I knew it I had a whole support group online of authors and book reviewers and bloggers and readers who support the whole indie community.” She recommends The Indie Exchange as a resource, as well as an informative blog by Terri Long. “The biggest advice everybody gave me was to treat it as a business and put out the best possible product, and make it look as professional as possible.”
