There can be an immediate sense of camaraderie among authors. They face the same challenges
day after day and therefore they understand each other. But let’s face it –
most writers live tucked away in their studios or offices working on their next
masterpiece. How are they ever supposed to meet up? Fortunately, there are several
social platforms and author sites that offer a place for indie authors to meet
and learn from one another.
Value of Writer
Relationships
There really is good reason for authors to develop professional
relationships with other authors. According to a study on professional relationships
conducted by the University of California, LA,* there are several reasons to
foster relationships with like professionals and they include:
- It’s refreshing, inspiring and rejuvenating.
- They value the work you do.
- They believe what you do to be interesting.
- They can ask all of the right questions.
- They totally understand you!
Where to get Started
There are tons of
sites designed to cater to authors and help them build relationships with other
like minded authors. Which ones you select will depend largely on your personal
preferences. Most of them provide a platform through which self published authors can
interact with both authors and readership. Here are a few top author sites or
organizations that are great places to start.

There are four levels of membership: associate, author, professional and
partner. You will find a very diverse community of self-published authors.
