The 1st of June 2011 saw the birth of the newest independent publisher on the block. Indie Authors Press was founded by aspiring authors, Jorge Salgado-Reyes, Myriam Reyes-Peña and Eduardo Salgado-Reyes whose collective dream is to publish their works independently of traditional publishers.
Indie Authors Press is a small family run publisher who aims to specialise in self-publishing, offering opportunities for those aspiring novelists and writers in all genres. With the way printing particularly has developed, and marketing opportunities proliferated, self-publishing has become increasingly accessible and popular, which is great news for authors!
If you have something to say and want to have your work in the public domain, start by registering on the Indie Authors forum. We will see you there!
Indie Authors Press has several books coming out this year. Myriam Reyes-Peña plans on publishing three standalone books on her poetry, some of which can be found on the Poetry & Prose section of the forum. The first of these anthologies is "Learning About Love". Myriam is a prolific writer of poetry and can be often found in her garden tending her flowers when not writing.
Also in the works, is Jorge Salgado-Reyes' début Techno-Noir novel "The Smoke in Death's Eye". Jorge is a private investigator who spends an inordinate amount of time in the back of surveillance vans. As a consequence, he has a lot of time to think of plot developments for his book. You can read excerpts of "The Smoke in Death's Eye". Jorge is also rewriting his security training manual for store detectives with a working title of "The Zen of Shoplifting".
Eduardo Salgado-Reyes has brought out a new Spanish edition of his book "Guía Curricular del Inglés" a curricular planning and values guide aimed at English As a Second Language institutions, teachers and students, in Spanish-speaking countries. As you have probably gathered Eduardo teaches English as a Second Language in Ecuador.
Minnie Lahongrais is the newest Author to sign with us. Check out her Press Release. Ms Lahongrais will be publishing her next novel in late 2012 and bringing out a UK edition of her current novel Sinner's Ride with an alternative ending.
Finally Indie Authors Press have succesfully negotiated with the UK's leading detective training providers, the Academy of Professional Investigations to co-author their British Process Servers Guide due out in early November 2011. It has been slightly over a decade since their 1st edition of the guide came out.
