What is an Indie Author?
An indie author is an author who chooses to self publish their books instead of going through a traditional publishing house.

This is not an article debating which one is better: self publishing or traditional publishing. I think both genres can have authors in them that are intriguing.

Because I'm not published yet (and I do want to go through traditional publishing), I have many indie author friends. Every Wed, we will have a series that will introduce you to some of their works.

I wonder which process is easier: Self or Traditional?

I would think that it depends on what you are going to do. I heard that it takes anywhere from 2 - 5 years to get a lit. agent to be able to submit to the bigger pub. houses. For self, you have to think about getting your own name out there, costs of self publishing, ect.
