Nov 2024 – The Indie Author Magazine

This issue’s cover star is JD Kirk, Scottish Crime Fiction author and 2024's Amazon Kindle Storyteller Award Winner.

Our in-depth feature sees TIA editor-in-chief Roz Morris asking JD about the path that brought him here. Roz also talks to the other four finalists, who have all beaten a big field of entries – reflecting a long sequence of individual publishing decisions that took them to success. Paired with our coverage of SelfPubCon 24—where indie experts gathered to discuss profitable publishing—these insights could help you identify the next steps in your author career.

Other features in this issue include…the latest trends in marketing and book adjacent products like courses, an examination of the risks and rewards of publishing on serializing platforms, and an in-depth look at the impact of AI on indie authors in 2025. All this, plus our regular roundup of the latest self-publishing news, highlights from the ALLi advice blog, podcasts, and interviews. And last but definitely not least, your achievements in our member news.
