The Shocking Truth About Whether You Really Need an Agent Revealed!
Indie authors need to build a team of go-to people who can handle tasks as needed. A typical indie may have any or all of the following kinds of people on their team:
- A freelance editor for macro editing, copyediting, and/or line editing.
- A freelance proofreader.
- A freelance formatter to handle e-book and paper book formatting.
- A freelance audiobook narrator.
- A freelance graphic designer for book covers and other needs.
- A web developer.
- An accountant.
- An agent.
- A mastermind group of entrepreneur-minded authors who help each other work through the chaos of life.
In my case, I work with almost all of the above, with just a couple of exceptions. I do my own copyediting and line editing, and I do my formatting for e-books and paper books. But I also know people I could hire for each of these jobs, in case I ever need them.
