Hello, dear readers!

Did you know that November is National Blog Posting Month? While November might already bring NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) to mind, it’s also the perfect time to celebrate those who put pen to page—or fingers to keyboard—for blogs! As an indie author, this month holds extra special meaning for me because it reminds me of the incredible support that readers like you bring to each post, story, and new book release.

What is National Blog Posting Month?

National Blog Posting Month, or NaBloPoMo for short, encourages writers and bloggers to share their voices daily throughout November. It’s a way for creators to challenge themselves to post consistently, and for readers, it’s an exciting chance to dive into new content every day! For indie authors like myself, it’s also a reminder of the powerful role that online presence and community support play in our writing journeys.

Why Blogging Matters for Indie Authors

As an indie author, connecting with readers and finding new ones often relies on my blog and social media presence. Blogging helps me:

  • Share insights: I get to reveal more about my writing process, my characters, and the worlds I’m building in each book.
  • Connect with you: Blogging gives me a direct way to chat with you, share behind-the-scenes content, and hear your thoughts on my work.
  • Reach new readers: Every blog post is a chance to introduce new readers to my books and bring them into the community that means so much to me.

Blogging also allows me to share updates and bonus content that wouldn’t fit in a book, bringing you closer to my stories and characters!

Why Your Support is Essential

As an indie author, I don’t have the marketing support that traditionally published authors often do. Each book release, blog post, and social media update relies heavily on the support of my readers. When you read, share, comment, or even just “like” a blog post, you’re helping my work reach new eyes and encouraging me to keep writing and sharing my stories. Knowing I have a community of readers who support me every step of the way gives me the confidence to keep going, even on tough days.

  4. Give feedback: If there’s something you’d like to see in a blog post, let me know! Your ideas and thoughts are always welcome.
