Praise for The Global Indie Author:
"I have read many books about self-publishing and have to say how impressed I am with the incredible detail and research that went into putting this book together. Demers goes through virtually everything an author who wants to understand this world would need to know in order to make informed decisions. This tops my recommended list for anybody considering learning more about self-publishing in either print or ebook or both." – Mark Lefebvre, Director, Self-Publishing and Author Relations, Kobo Writing Life

"If you are self-publishing, buy The Global Indie Author and read it cover to cover. It is quite possibly the best resource book available for independent authors. It combines overall strategies with step-by-step instructions and expertly guides authors through the complex maze of self-publishing both print and e-books." – Mark Hanen, Words: I Know What I Want To Say - I Just Don’t Know How To Say It

"The Global Indie Author is an excellent book for anyone who wants a comprehensive guide through the indie publishing journey, whether you are living in the U.S. or living in Denmark. What I loved best is that I know each chapter was extensively researched. I put a lot of work into finding answers on the Internet. This book saves you all that trouble. Buy this book and spend your precious time writing!" – Kate Tremills, Messenger and Queen Isabel
