Indie Author Guide

Your go-to hub for indie author success. 👋 Hi, I’m Cindy L. When I published my first book, I made every mistake in the book (pun intended!).

We share free resources, training, and support to help you write, publish, and market your book with confidence—plus practical strategies to grow your platform, reach readers, and boost book sales. Hyde — author, publisher, coach, and founder of Indie Author Guide, Hyde Virtual Agency, and Hyde House Publishing. I’ve written more than 17 books, including The Indie Author’s Guide to FREE Book Marke

ting, but I didn’t get here overnight. I spent money I didn’t have, tried strategies that didn’t work, and almost gave up more than once. That’s why I wrote the book and created the website for the Indie Author Guide—because I don’t want you to go through the same overwhelm I did. Every author has a story worth sharing, and my mission is to help you share yours with confidence. My background in Communication, Education, and Visual Communication means I can do more than cheer you on—I can teach you how to build your author platform, design professional content, and market your book without breaking the bank. Here, you’ll find free resources, checklists, and encouragement to help you:

Write and publish with confidence ✍️

Market your book using smart, budget-friendly strategies 💡

Build an author platform that attracts readers 📚

Create websites, graphics, and content that stand out 🎨

At the heart of it all, I love seeing authors succeed. If you’ve got a story to tell, I’d be honored to help you share it with the world. 🌎

"I just finished reading your book, and I want to express how deeply it resonated with me. The narrative pulled me in completely, and its impact has lingered well beyond the final chapter.

Your work has been a real source of inspiration." Ezekiel Honor

💥 From Challenges to Chapters 💥

As an author, what’s been your greatest challenge?

For me, it started with not knowing how to self-publish my first book.
So I did what I knew best — researched my way through it, step by step.

That journey turned into my first resource for other writers:
📘 A Workbook for Writers Who Want to Be Authors or Authorpreneurs: Learn how to organize, write, edit, format, self-publish, market, and sell your book.
👉 Get it on Amazon: https://a.co/d/dxd8XdY

Then came my next challenge…
I realized books don’t sell themselves.
So I wrote another:
💰 Creating Five Income Streams from Your Printed Book
Because authors deserve to earn from their message.
👉 Find it on Amazon: https://a.co/d/e4sL3oT

And the biggest challenge of all?
Helping other indie authors market and sell their books — without spending a dime.

That became my favorite project yet:
🚀 The Indie Author’s Guide to FREE Book Marketing
Discover 101 ways to sell your book without spending a penny (well, except for this book).
👉 Grab it on Amazon: https://a.co/d/1ZusjXT

✨ Here’s the truth:
Challenges aren’t meant to stop you — they’re meant to shape you.
Each one teaches you how to rise higher, get smarter, and help someone else do the same.

✨ Welcome to the Indie Author Guide community! ✨

Have you ever poured your heart into a book—only to wonder “Now what?”

That was me when I published my very first book. I thought finishing the manuscript was the hard part. But the real challenge? Getting it into the hands of readers.

I made some mistakes along the way. I spent money. Tried strategies that came up short. And honestly, I almost gave up. But I'm not a quitter. I had more books in me.

I had to learn to market my books. I utilized the research skills I developed while earning my master's degree to acquire marketing, platform-building, and self-publishing skills.

That’s why I started Indie Author Guide. Because I don’t want you to go through the same overwhelm I did. Writing your book is only half the journey. Selling it, sharing it, and building your platform? That’s where I come in.

📘 I wrote The Indie Author’s Guide to FREE Book Marketing to give indie authors the roadmap I wish I’d had.

🛠 And at IndieAuthorGuide.com, you’ll find tools and freebies to help you succeed—without breaking the bank.
