#IndieApril and ways to support writers everywhere

7 April 2022

While there may not be a whole lot of Australian government support for authors in this part of the world, as book readers there are things we can do. Jake Uniacke posted a few #IndieApril suggestions on Twitter, but these are ideas that can be acted upon at anytime of the year.

Review their work. Goodreads, Amazon, and Google are good places to start.
Share their work. Spread the word on your social media channels, Twitter, Facebook, BookTok, and Bookstagram.
Buy their books. Through the author’s website if possible, or an indie bookshop, any bookshop really.
Interact with their content. Instagram stories, Twitter polls, and Q&A sessions, are a few suggestions.

Joe Walters, writing for Independent Book Review, also offers a number of suggestions.
