Agatha de Loon is an indie writer who published her first book with absolute discretion of her real identity. She lives somewhere in Europe, but her writing has been only read in the United States and Canada with exclusivity to a platform with unlimited lending. However, without agent and marketing possibilities, upset by advertising schemes that endanger her privacy, she decided to unpublish and destroy her book. By chance, she happened on her novel on Goodreads at a moment when she badly needed support. Encouraged by the five-star ratings of people who loved her book, she decided to give up on exclusivity and make her novel available on multiple platforms worldwide. Indie writers are mostly dependent on their readers’ support, comments, and feedback, especially when they are new to self-edition. Readers can save a book from falling to oblivion in the jungle of venomous fake critics and followers on demand. Many thanks to those honest ones who help their favorite writers with constructive criticism and fair reviews.
