What is a Christian Indie Author

WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN INDIE WRITER/AUTHOR? Indie, if you haven't heard by now, stands for Independent. The newest (or maybe not-so-new) trend in publishing is the Independent Author who takes matters of publication into their own hands. 

Unfortunately, mainstream publishing companies are becoming harder and harder to sign with. Many do not accept unrepresented authors or unsolicited manuscripts. Without a touch of luck and never-ending patience a writer may never be among the blessed few to sign a contract with the "Big Boys." 

So what is an author to do? With determination and drive the Independent author can get help or go it alone to Self-Publish. Self-Publishing presents its own challenges and rewards, but with the help and support of other writers, editors, small presses, and independent publishers, publishing a book has never been more accessible and supported.

Indie Christian Writers are authors, poets, playwrights, and screenwriters who are Christian and create works encompassing a Christian worldview. The gamut of Christian literature and literary arts is as wide, unique, and varied as we are. Christian literature includes everything from fantasy to history, plays to poetry, drama to comedy, and everything in between.
