Independent (self-published) authors, micropublishers and small imprints: you are the future of publishing, and you deserve some respect and community. Time Magazine™ gets it, the Washington Post™ gets it, and so does The New York Times™. Even Publisher's Weekly™ gets it, and has been getting it since 2002.

Whether you're an individual indie author, a co-op of authors who've formed your own imprint, or a small publisher trying to embrace new technologies and break out of the traditional publishing mold, Publetariat, an online news hub and community, has been built just for you.
