Every month, we do this cool thing on QueerSciFi.com to support indie writers. We share 4 of their books with our readers for free, and then add those readers (only with permission) to the author lists. It's a great way to get some new reads, "meet" a few up and coming authors, and forge new connections. :)

May's books are below. Grab 'em here (we send them out around the 3rd of next month):

One of the many hats I wear is that of book formatter. As an indie author/press, it made sense to do it for myself, and now I do it for other folks too. :)

Need a re-release formatted? Have a new book you want to self-publish, but just don't quite know how to prep your book files? We use Vellum for the Mac, and do formatting for ePub (all formats) and pdf/print.
