Indie Authors Monthly Magazine For Authors and Readers discussion

Hello everybody,

My name is Samantha and I write fantasy for teens and young adults. I'm in the process of editing my first book and I hope to have it ready sometime in 2018. I hope to get advice and feedback, along with just good old fashioned talk with my fellow book lovers! This seems like a nice group, I can't wait to get to know everyone.

HI Samantha- this is a great group of people. Welcome.

welcome, Samantha!

Hi, I'm David. I'm a reader looking to expand my literary horizons. Or failing that just find some decent books to read.

You've come to the right place, David. Welcome!

Thank you, I really like it here!

welcome, David!

You might try putting some key words in an Amazon Search, including titles of books that you have read and the authors names.

I am behind on my welcomes. Welcome to the group Justine, Samantha, and David. Nice to meet you! I hope I didn't miss anybody.

Hello. I am new to Goodreads. I am a self-published author who writes mostly romance, sometimes with a slight mystery weaved throughout.

I recently submitted a book to Kindle Scout, which is now in review. I've already begun writing a new book while I wait for the results to hopefully distract myself.

I've always loved to cook and bake, but recently am changing many of my recipes due to family allergies. It can be quite the challenge. I'm looking forward to connecting with other authors and readers.

Thank you for the warm welcome, Graeme. I wish you luck, as well. :)

Hi, I'm new to the group and I write my true experiences that I have had in my life time in the paranormal genre. I have published three books through Stellium Books. I'm currently writing my fourth book. I have also published a book in Spanish. I would like to meet with other authors and learn about problems maybe other authors have had and maybe review other books so that I might gain a knowledge about other ways to write. I glad to be a member of this great group.

Welocme to the group, Alan.

Hi, Alan! Welcome aboard!

Hi! I'm an American expat currently living in the Netherlands. I'm an avid reader and author of travel mysteries and a travelogue. My second novel (The Lover's Portrait: An Art Mystery) was released as an audiobook two days ago so I'm still quite excited about that! I've already learned quite a bit about marketing from this group and hope to discover even more tips to find new readers.

Hi Jennifer- welcome to the group.

Welcome, David!"

Hi David, I, too, wish to find some good books. I guess I should put a couple on my bookshelf right now!

Hello everyone I missed. Come in, make yourselves at home. Please don't leave your shoes there... (is very over-tired)

Hello everyone. I'm a self-published author of an environmentally themed and educational children's story about forest animals who get disturbed by a housing development. It's called "Animals in the Forest: The Day Terrible Things Came". The story specifically honours young environmental activists, groups, tribes and places where people protested for their right to land, water and air. I also have created supplementary English/environmental worksheets around each chapter. Looking forward to learning and growing as an author :)

Nice to meet you!!

Nice to meet all the new persons here.

Welcome, Kathryn! You'll meet other children's books authors here.

Thank you all, you are very welcoming :)

Nice to meet you, Alan! Welcome!

Welcome to the group, Jennifer!

Welcome, Kathryn! I am a children's author too. Your book sounds interesting. :) I do a weekly Facebook author feature for children's authors. It's free. DM me if you are interested. :)

Hi everyone,

I'm a new author, and I'm thrilled to be joining this group!
I teach Strategic Management and E-Commerce in universities in Canada as well as provide training to executives. I'm a down-to-earth professor who loves students.

My first book is on Kindle Unlimited and it's meant to help young people to choose the right college major and career. It inspires them to choose with their heart. It's called The Secrets Your Professors Won't Tell You — About Your Career Choice. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07565PHSZ
Your feedback is welcome!

Once again, it's great to be part of this group!
Sincerely,
Liliya.

Welcome to the group, Liliya! Great topic for a book. :)

Liliya,

The world needs more like you, who can teach, train and inspire young people to become executives, prosper and lead fulfilling lives.
When I wrote my autobiography I was surprised and had no idea that businesses and companies would use it as a guide to learn about running a business, sales and the importance of ethics.

Welcome to the group, Liliya!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I've been checking out all of the authors in this group and can safely say there's a lot of talent here. Glad to have found you.

Hello everyone! My name is Dominique Law and I have recently published my debut novel Ekata: Fall of Darkness the first instalment in the Ekata trilogy. A YA Fantasy series about a spiritually advanced and utopian world where violence is unthinkable, and mental arts such as telekinesis and telepathy are the norm.

This has been a long time coming for me! So excited to finally have my book published.

As like most writers, I love to read. There's nothing better than getting lost in another world for a few hours. Any book recommendations are most welcome! I am relatively new to this site so would love to make some new friends on Goodreads.

Looking forward to meeting you guys,
Dom :)

Hi Dom, welcome to the group.
