I’ve watched and waited for a really good association for independent author-publishers to develop, and I’m happy to report that one has. The Alliance of Independent Authors, or ALLi (pronounced ally, appropriately). It’s not that ALLi is brand new, far from it. But in my opinion, they have now reached escape velocity and are orbiting the indie author ecosphere sustainably. I’m sure the folks at ALLi, if they read this, will be saying, “So, where have YOU been?” Answer: lurking for 7 or 8 years to see when it would be worth the time to join and engage with your staff, members, and resources. That time has come.
ALLi has just put on a first-class online conference comprising presentations from top-notch experts and pundits in indie publishing. I want to encourage everyone looking for current info and a deeper dive to check out ALLi and seriously consider becoming a member.
