THE INDIE AUTHOR MANIFESTO
Mark Coker
We indie authors believe all writers are created equal, that all writers are endowed with natural creative potential, and that writers have an unalienable right to exercise, explore and realize their potential through the freedom of publication.
I hold these truths to be self-evident:
1.
2.
from self-publishing
3.
4.
and how my writing graduates to become a published book.
5.
6.
business relationships, I seek partnership, fairness, equity and
mutually aligned interests.
7.
purpose to advance, empower and celebrate writers everywhere.
8.
improve my craft to better serve my readers, myself, my fellow
indie authors and the culture of books
9.
cannot be measured by commercial sales alone.
10.
success is mine, and mine theirs. Together we are pioneering a
better future for books marked by greater quality, creativity,
diversity, choice, availability, affordability and accessibility.
