Indigo Wren

Biography

Indigo lives in Alberta, Canada with their two young adult children and their life partner. They have adopted and lost a variety of cats over the years, but usually have one hanging around. They enjoy teasing the cat, writing (of course), and hanging out with the kids. They began writing at a young age, starting with short stories, moving on to poetry, and eventually participating in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and completing their first novel. Since then, they have produced several manuscripts of novel-length. When they grow up, Indigo hopes to be an expert in the field of faery security. Their advice for writers, young and old, is to be brave in their work and never give up.

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
As far as I can remember, I started writing in the third grade. I was given an assignment to write a short book, complete with a wallpaper and cardboard cover. I wrote about the town I had just moved from, and about my experiences with moving. My teacher raved about my story, and invited me to read it to the school via the PA system in the office. From that point on, I wanted to be a writer when I grew up.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I am inherently terrible at selling myself. I could never come up with a decent query letter that left me feeling confident enough to send it to a traditional publisher. As a result, I started looking into self-publishing, and eventually took the leap.
