Publishing Innovators | Jerry D. Simmons – Author Advocate

Jerry D. Simmons has spent many years in the book publishing industry and I first came across him on Nothing Binding (a social network, resource for writers to communicate and sell their work) several years ago. He is an absolute hive of experience and has given many talks on the industry and delivered tutorials for self-publishing authors – some of which are linked below.

Yes, Jerry has made a life of being an advisor and consultant in the business of publishing to companies and authors, but first and foremost, he has always remained an advocate for authors.

In 2005 I founded this web site, http://www.writersreaders.com which has become “THE” source for information about book publishing. My eNewsletter TIPS for WRITERS is read by writers around the world. In 2007 I founded the free online marketing platform http://www.nothingbinding.com which introduces writers and authors to a global audience. In 2009 I launched the INDI Publishing Group, providing writers with an imprint for their published work while creating opportunities for writers choosing to publish independently.
