We love working with hobbyists! A hobbyist is a person looking to create a book primarily for their own pleasure. Sometimes looking to self-publish a professional photo-book for their parents 50th wedding anniversary, or to help a grandchild self-publish their very first book. Their measurement of success is usually quality, and not sales based. And they are normally quite content with simply being an author.

An indie author however, is a completely different beast. They’re what we like to call authorpreneurs… an author and an entrepreneur. They take pride in keeping complete creative control over their project, and they’re looking to sell a lot of books. Their measurement for success is usually quality and sale based, and how well they do largely depends on THEM. Which means they have to do more than just write a great book, they’ll have to learn how to also market their book, find and connect with potential customers, schools, libraries, businesses, readers and reviewers. Knowing the business side of being an author is crucial to an indie authors success, and their ability to take charge of their new career.
