๐ Why Indie Books Break New Ground ๐
During #IndieAuthorMonth, let's talk about innovation!
Traditional publishing often follows tried-and-true formulas. As an indie author, I'm free to experiment with:
- Genre-blending stories that don't fit neat marketing categories
- Unconventional characters rarely seen in mainstream fiction
- Narrative structures that take creative risks
- Topics that might be considered "too niche" by big publishers
Some of today's most groundbreaking literary movements began with indie authors brave enough to write outside the lines.
What's the most unique or innovative book you've read lately? Was it indie published?
