25 Best Indie Book Blogs and Websites

1. Indie Reader

New York, US
IR's launch in 2009, we have reviewed thousands of self-published titles. We have also seen most of the negativity directed to self-publishing disappear, to the point where indie books regularly make the major bestseller lists, win major literary awards, and sell hundreds of thousands of copies. Our Reviewers won't judge your book as compared to other self-published titles, but against other books, period.

My name is Ashley, I'm 30-ish, and I live in Nashville, Tennessee - also where I happen to be from, which makes me what we call a unicorn here.

There have been books that very well may have saved my life and books that have changed my life.
