of books are released each year!! —everyone has a story to tell.
Most of us at some time or another feel like our work is drowning in the slush pile, buried under the weight of competition.
The challenge is even steeper for indie authors—no traditional publishing house backing, no big budgets, and .
At OMERA, we work with indie authors who are serious about their craft—no shortcuts, no skimming the surface.
Why? Because , and like all great art, it demands respect.
Here’s what many indie authors and publishers forget:
—and yes, that means editing again (and maybe even again after that).
—understand who they are, what they love, and how your book speaks to them.
—it’s your golden ticket to capturing attention, whether it’s an agent, a bookstore, or a reader flipping through your pages. ( : – . … , .)
—I can’t stress this enough!! Your book’s cover is its first handshake. A great design can be the difference between a curious click and being overlooked entirely.
Indie publishing isn’t a sprint; it’s persistence, polish, and professionalism that win the day.
If you’re ready to do the work and make your book shine, we’re here to help you rise above—not just in the slush pile, but on the shelves. Like I always say: Let’s stand out like a cornstalk in a field of beans.
The crowd may be noisy, but with the right tools, your voice can rise above it. Because at Omera, we know indie authors are more than capable of holding their own—no wand required.
