Should I join ALLi (Alliance of Independent Authors ) | Self-Publishing Professional Organization
Показать описание
The Alliance of Independent Authors is a professional organization for self-publishing authors or author publishers or indie authors. Whatever name you call yourself, they will accept you.
@AllianceofIndependentAuthors
They have three membership tiers:
Associate - you have not self-published yet but you are working toward that.
Author - that’s my level
Authorpreneur - this is for those who have way more books out than I do and make way more money on their books than I do.
I pay $119 a year for this membership.
And y’all know I”m frugal. If I don’t have to pay for something, I won’t. Royalties are razor thin. So if I am investing in this, that’s a pretty good indicator that it is worth it.
When I first signed up in 2020? 2021? I had one specific reason. The IngramSpark upload and revision codes. So back then you had to pay to upload to IngramSpark AND to revise files. That was expensive for me who has over a dozen books that occasionally need updates or new editions. And i was releasing 2 books a year too. So it got expensive. The savings from this one benefit more than paid for my membership.
What I also got from the membership that I hadn’t counted on, was fantastic. I was able to join the members only forum which used to be on Facebook, it is now on a private site. It is so helpful. Every time there have been new terms and conditions from different platforms or some issue in the self-publshing world, I go to that forum to see ‘what level of panicked should I be? Is ALLi on it?’ Because they advocate for indies. Individually we get nowhere negotiating terms, but ALLi can come to the table and say, ‘excuse me, I represent a lot of authors who make a lot of money for you, we need to talk about these new terms.” And they do a great job with this.
They have a watchdog list of individuals or businesses that maybe have less than above board practices. They also have a directory of partners they have vetted and approved. As an indie author we get spam emails all the time for companies promising this or that. As an ALLi member I can double check before I engage with a company. Big time and money savings.
Also I was able to give a presentation at SelfPubCon. And there is a certain ‘oh you’ve joined this professional organization’ you’re taking this seriously. I have to think it helped nudge me to get a speaking opportunity with NINC. It has made it easier to pitch myself on podcasts.
They have eBooks on different specific items like getting books options, childrens books, just a vast library of niche knowledge.
Overall, I think it is absolutely worth the investment. And there are benefits they offer that I haven’t made use of because I haven’t needed. But you may find those these beneficial. So I thnk you should check it out.
