The point of this website is to help the first time author. There is so much white noise out there in the indie publishing world. Everyone has a strong opinion, and isn’t afraid to share it.

I do too, of course. I believe strongly that a first time author should be focusing entirely on getting that first draft done, and not worrying about marketing or anything else.

That said, when a newbie author jumps on facebook and joins some writing groups, they are going to run into a lot of terminology that they may not have heard before, and they may be afraid to ask for fear of looking stupid.

Welcome to AuthorHelp.net! Where looking stupid is our forte!

I’ve been working hard on putting together this glossary of common terms and what they mean.

Feel free to email me with additions!
