Upcoming Event
Do to the pandemic, there are no events scheduled at this time. We hope to resume our attendance at conferences, book events and special indieBRAG events when it is again safe to do so.indieBRAG Testimonials
“I learned about indieBRAG from fellow historical fiction authors who are members of Facebook groups. With the emergence of POD and digital publishing, the good news is anyone can now publish a book; the bad news is anyone can now publish a book! The greates challenge indie authors confront is the stigma of inferiority caused by books rushed into the market without professional design and editing. indieBRAG offers an invaluable vetting service to readers who might otherwise she awar from indies. With the rapid changes in the industry, i’m confident the walls between indie and traditional publishing will continue to crumble.” Author Glen Craney The Spider and the Stone The Yanks are Starving The Virgin of the Wild Rose
