This is the third year we’re running the Narratess Indie Sale and there has been a lot of interest from authors. We started with 76 authors taking part. Now we have nearly 300! A few missed the deadline but I’m sure they’ll join us in August. I never expected the sale to grow this big. Read More

#indieapril Sale: Fantasy, Science-fiction, and Horror
