Independent literature was, of course, the first literature; some ancestor decided to record an important event, and so it all began. While we can thank Johannes Gutenberg for making printing easier (and propelling the creation of a literate culture), he also enabled hasty production. In modern times, in defiance of a generation becoming rapidly paperless, book publishers are among the biggest, often oldest companies in the world.

For writers the challenge is stark: break into the ranks of the elite. Get your work published by one of the biggest and best, and you’ll have made it.

The solution for many aspiring authors is publishing independently. Not only does this allow a broader spectrum of literature to seek an audience, but it provides the audience itself with something it may otherwise never have seen at all!

In fact, we largely have the digital age to thank for enabling a number of independent scribblers to craft and publish on their own. While this new era will certainly present new challenges (they’ve barely begun legislating intellectual property violations with regards to internet access), it enables even the greenest of authors and publishers to find their audience in any corner of the civilized world.The hits keep comin’: Unbound’s Crowd-Financed, Spine-Tingling Effort To Reinvent Book Publishing
