Got the following email from Amy Edelman and I thought it would be worth reprinting as a lot of indie authors seem to read us:
As we all know, indies–thanks to many of you–are finally staking their claim as legit, best selling books. In order to demonstrate that–and in response to the fact that indie bestsellers weren’t tracked anywhere else–IndieReader created “The List Where Indies Count”, featuring the top 10 best selling indie titles, culled from sources including The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Amazon and B&N.com.
IndieReader recently created a widget (http://indiereader.com/indiereader-top-10-list-widget/) that indie authors–and ultimately news sources that cover best selling books–can post to their web pages, giving indie book-loving readers a direct link to IR’s weekly updated “List”.
The fact is, many readers–and members of the media–have have no idea how often indie books are included on the same lists as their traditional brethren. Week after week, IR’s “List” makes it easy to find the best selling books and authors, along with descriptions of their books and links to sales outlets for easy purchase. We hope that you’ll post the list with pride.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Amy Edelman
