A dark, atmospheric flat lay features the book cover "THE RAVEN" by K.R. STINSON, with the overlay text "My experience as an INDIE AUTHOR." The cover includes the quote "WHAT WOULD YOU NOT DO, IN THE NAME OF LOVE? WHAT WOULD YOU NOT GIVE?" A lit candle, skull fragment, and crystals surround the book.
An open book displays text about the challenges of being an indie author, including "NOT AS MUCH EXPOSURE" and "MARKETING IS SOLELY ON ME." A hand with a snake tattoo rests on the page, emphasizing the "grueling process" of indie authorship.
A vibrant purple and pink sky with a rainbow arches over a residential street scene at dusk. Overlay text highlights the positive aspects of being an indie author: "The experience is so hands on... I've connected with so many people and I get the luxury of receiving direct feedback."
