In this blog, Indie Christian Book Reviews, I am focusing on a specific idea I found after publishing my first book, “Encountering Darkness.” With the continual rise of self-publishing, I realized there is a lack of people to review indie or self-published Christian authors. As well, there is a lack of people to review books in general. I would like to help as I can in that regard. If you are interested in getting a review of your indie or self-published Christian book, please send me a review request. Please make sure you read my guidelines first.

What is an Indie Christian book?

If you ask a person what is the distinction between indie publishing versus self-publishing, you will uncover different responses. A few will state that in indie publishing a person has full control over their book, but some will declare that self-publishing is that same idea. Others will state, with indie publishing you publish with a small-time publisher. Although, I’ve discovered in regards to self-publishing, you use a company that offers publishing packages, so that you pay a company to create your book. For extra, the publishing company can also market your book. Often the two terms seem to bring about confusion and people have their own definition of the two terms. People separate the term indie publishing and self-publishing, but for this website, Indie Christian Book Reviews…

Indie Christian books will include:
  1. self-published or small-time publisher (and I mean small)
  2. retaining rights to your own book
  3. control over your book, from creation to advertising

There will, of course, be leeway to this definition. If you are unsure if your book is an indie Christian book, I would suggest you send your request anyways. But if your book is obviously a large publisher, please do not send a request.

What if you do not have a Christian book?

If you have a book, but it does not fit the mold, although I will not review it, I provide other book review websites. You can check out the sites here.
