Groups

[close] I began this group in January 2015 to support fellow indie authors by featuring them on my website blog. Since then it has turned into a great resource of helpful tips, marketing resources, and just overall support for all indie authors. You're welcome to join our group as long as you contribute and are encouraging in your comments. Please note, in order to fully enjoy our group and make it the best Self Publishing Resource that it can be, we ask that you give as much as you take. If you want your books to be read, read other Indie Author books. If you want help, give help in return. This is how Support for Indie Authors can be the Ultimate Self Publishing Resource and Indie Author Support Group. Please take a moment to read through our Read Me Topics under each Folder Category in order to get a better grasp of our guidelines and where you should you post your questions/comments/etc. Thank you all and Welcome to Support for Indie Authors! Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter by visiting http://www.supportindieauthors.com/subscribe/ Sincerely, Ann Livi Andrews *Riley stole this from GG because everyone asks this question.* Bookwhack: Think about bookwhack as bird droppings. Everyone is having a picnic. The sun is shining. The food is good. The conversation is flowing. Then, suddenly a bird flies down and leaves a dropping, ruining the day for everyone. Bookwhacking is doing the same with your book. Going into threads and dropping your book name or cover or blurb without being invited to do so. You fly over, drop the bomb. and leave. Sometimes you stay to add a short comment but the sole purpose of it is to make people think you actually had something to say. In other words, it's finding any reason to push your book in the face of people who were not expecting it.

[close] Five hundred years ago, our goddess went missing. Like a flame dropped in water, the light fizzled out. Her temples went decrepit, her followers faded into the dark, and the world as we knew it was left in eternal night. Upon her disappearance, she left behind little orbs of sunshine, many dubbed them Ama Spheres, the government immediately took control of them, the entire world's powers uniting as one singular unit to control the people and the consumption of the spheres. The world today is a fast paced existence, industrial, always working in the favor of those with enough money to pay of their own personal debts, and never those who actually work, dwindling in the dim light of the lower cities, desperately scraping by for work. The worshipers, while lessening in abundance, still exist, waiting for their empress to return. The land is corrupt, a corporate tool for control. But what happens when an uncontrollable force suddenly appears? People who are born with the power to create the very light that's so regulated within the cities. People blessed by the long gone goddess, people hunted down by high level spies and assassins, used like conduits, strapped to machines for their energies and light to be absorbed. What if you were one of those people?

[close] Welcome to Universe Unite. For those of you that have been in this group before, you might notice that things have changed. This group's previous RPs are gone, but it's being converted to more than that! Enjoy conversations with friends, as well as creating characters for fun RPs, and share your work with all your fellow group members. Make polls, add book recommendations to the shelf and laugh at silly memes. Have fun and get feedback. Fandom characters are allowed in RP as well as completely original characters! Creative freedom is encouraged here. This group is currently still being rebuilt, but the RP is ready for you to join in! If you see something missing that you think should be included, suggest it to the mods! The games and help sections are still being set up.
