Saffina Desforges is a writing team that I have been following for a while; a pair of now successful indie authors.  Follow the link to the Saffina Desforges website to read the story of how indie authors (or any authors) are treated by traditional publishers and agents.  You will quickly see why the indie author movement has been gaining steam.

And here is a link to the UK’s Register, describing how in indie books account for 12% of the ebook market.  It goes on to say that most are rubbish.  I would not dispute that there is a lot of crap in the indie book market.  On the other hand, traditional publishers have given us (at least) three books about Snookie.  Well done indeed!
