Averi Melcher is a writer and content contributor covering self-publishing, writing craft, and the indie author life. She writes across the practical how-to of getting a book from draft to published, the tools and services authors evaluate along the way, and the business questions every first-time author runs into. Averi pairs an editor's eye for clarity with a reader's sense for what actually helps at each stage of the publishing journey. When she isn't writing, you'll find her curled up with a novel, planning her next creative project, or hunting down the best coffee shop in town.
