The hard part isn’t writing the book. It’s finding the people who will actually love reading it. I think most indie authors aren’t looking for millions of readers. They just want their book to reach the right readers. So keep putting it out there. Talk about your story. Share your process. Connect with other readers and authors. And don’t be afraid to ask people to give your book a chance. Sometimes, the readers your book deserves are out there. They just haven’t found you yet.

How can I find readers for my mystery and psychological thriller books without spending money?
I'm an indie author publishing through Kobo, with three books currently under review on IndieFiction. My fiction includes mystery, crime, suspense, and psychological thrillers. I'm working with a zero-budget promotion strategy, so paid advertising and paid promotion services aren't options for me. I'm looking for sustainable ways to reach readers who genuinely enjoy these genres and direct interested readers to my Kobo book pages. Which free methods have actually helped you reach relevant readers? Have you had success with IndieFiction's discovery features, author communities, or other reader-focused platforms? I'd appreciate practical advice based on real experience, especially methods that work for authors starting without an established audience.

I sent review copies to six bloggers three weeks ago and heard back from one. Is it normal to follow up, and how long should I leave it before it starts to look pushy?
MarketingAnonymous0 answersIs a BookBub Featured Deal worth the money, or are the cheaper promo sites good enough?
I'm planning a price promo and keep seeing BookBub Featured Deals recommended, but they're expensive and hard to get accepted. Are the cheaper newsletter promo sites a reasonable substitute for a first-timer?
