For Indie Authors and Poets

Does this sound like you and your work?:

  • Self-published or published through a lesser-known publisher
  • Your art does not pay the bills
  • You don’t have a following yet (or it is small)
  • Reviews are sparse, if they exist at all

Then I have a proposal for you: send me an email or comment below with a link to your website, the book you most would like me to review, and information on how or where I can purchase the copy. I’m not asking or wanting free copies, but I am collecting a list of books and e-books to review and showcase on this website for my own practice.

Since I don’t have any reviews up as examples yet, I want to give folks an idea of what I’m going to be looking at:

  • Is this a novel or collection I would read again?
  • Would I recommend this to others and what audience(s) do I think would most enjoy the work?
  • Top three likes and dislikes about the book.

All reviews will include a link to the author’s website or any page that gives readers a place to go to learn about you, your work, and purchase your book(s). If you send along a brief bio as well, I’ll use it!

Thinking of Home

Home is wherever loved ones are found, but shoes are generally not found on feet. All mugs are full of something comforting and familiar stories grace the air with their welcome presence.

Cozy, warm, living room with a black cat lounging in front of a fireplace.

Original writing prompt: Home is wherever ________.

Note: This wasn’t originally intended as a writing prompt. It apparently was a poll on Twitter with options that were not nearly as interesting, but I didn’t see that before I decided to get creative.

How do you define home? Feel free to reply in a comment!
