Being an Indie Author is really hard. Traditionally published authors have pre-built reviewer teams, a budget for big review sites like NetGalley, and have a reputation for higher quality books. Many reviewers will only accept ARC’s (Advanced Reader Copies) of traditionally published books which limits us even further. However this year I decided to see if given enough time and effort, I could compete with the big guys. It turns out, I can. I hope I can save you some time with this list I’ve compiled.

You're scared to show anyone your book. You're crushed by every bad review. Not only are you not making any money, you're SPENDING money.

5 FUN FACTS ABOUT BRITTNI CHENELLE 1. She lives in South Korea. It's true. She does most of her updates in the morning or at night to account for the time difference. She also infuses most of her novels with her observations about Korean culture. 2. She's a Type 1 Diabetic. She uses an insulin pump for survival and refers to her diabetes as "Beetie" which is what inspired her children's book "Life with Beetie". When she wants something from her parents she tells them, "My Beetie hurts." It's a trick that has never failed her.  3. She doesn't really BELIEVE in fiction. Despite all the; Dragons, Elves, and Magic present in her novel "Involuted the Tale of the Red Ribbon Tree", Brittni INSISTS that it's a true story. 4. She's OBSESSED with dark chocolate. She made me put that in and would also like me to inform you (on an unrelated note) that her birthday is in May. 5. Sorry guys, she's married...
