Service Ratings for Indie Authors
John Doppler
This rating of the best and worst self-publishing services is a community outreach service from the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi).
ALLi's Watchdog Desk, headed up by John Doppler, monitors the self-publishing services sector. We invite feedback from writers, good and bad, on any service.
If the service you seek is not on the ratings list, just let us know.
