I read a few indie books every year primarily in the fantasy and scifi genres. I find that I need a “sieve” of some sort to find the books I will enjoy. I read reviews on several book-related Reddit subs as one way to find stories. Just a couple of enthusiastic independent reviews will enormously raise the probability of my reading an indie title.
I also check out Mark Lawrence’s Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off where they sort through 300 self-published titles every year.
Indie authors have a difficult hill to climb but the best ones will eventually be found.
