According to recent data, over 80 percent of the bestselling eBooks on Amazon.com are from indie authors and presses. In this informative session, hear from indie authors LJ Cohen, Gledé Browne Kabongo, and PJ Sharon about their success with creating strong partnerships with libraries as the book world continues to become more indie.
