Resources For Indie Authors

As a book cover designer I'm passionate about helping Indie authors and self publishers with their projects. I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of resources that have been tried and tested for helping Writers. Following is a list of places where free fonts are available, Writers Websites, and organisations that will help Writers get noticed. I'm not affiliated with any of these organisations, but I do feel the services they offer can be very valuable.

Well that wraps up this small compilation, I do hope you have found it useful. Obviously there are hundreds of resources out there for Authors and this is only a handful of the ones that I have heard to be useful. A quick search on google is also recommended to help Writers connect with other resources.

I'm a graphic designer specialising in book cover design. I have many years experience designing covers and it is by far one of my true passions in life. Via my website, I offer Bespoke cover designs and a selection of Pre-made covers for both Digital and Print books. I offer a complete one-to-one service at affordable prices.

I'm on a mission to help Indie-Authors have a beautiful cover that they can be proud of and that has as much heart and soul to it as the book it is wrapped around.
