Here's a special request from SCBWI-MI Indie Coordinator, David Stricklen:
As the Michigan Indie Coordinator, I am seeking to identify our indie high achievers and ask them to consider a role as an indie mentor.
This is an important first step in an effort to provide the most current and accurate information to our members and help them choose the right indie path to publishing for them.
Indie publishing would include hybrid publishing (combines aspects of traditional and self-publishing), vanity publishing (publishers do it all for a price), self-publishing (the author does it all), and digital. All of these various publishing methods would fall under the indie umbrella.
Mentor information will be added to the SCBWI Michigan website with a link to a special page called Independently Publishing Resources. On this page, visitors will find the indie mentor's bio, links to their work, contact information and their particular publishing path. Depending on the indie path members may be considering, they will now have identified the best resources for information.
Are you an indie high achiever? Would you agree to be a resource for members on the SCBWI-MI website? At a minimum, you should be able to answer yes to the questions below.
● I have independently published at least three picture books or two novels.
● I have sold a minimum total of 2,500 books.
● I have presented at a variety of schools and/or conferences.
● I have presented my work at a variety of book fairs.
If you would like to be one of our SCBWI-MI indie mentor resources, please email indie coordinator David Stricklen.
