            Pak Brian said that in his time joining this community there were no Topic discussed about Indie Publisher, as it is today.Since July 2020 I helped the participants of this group to reach publishers especially Indie Publishers that has been working with me that time.

                  He was also thrilled to have the opportunity to share about indie publishers, as one of the fulfilment to finished this class. The speaker then explained that publishing books for writers are easier today since there are many indie publishers and that we knew only Big publishers a long time ago.

            For rookie writers, the Indie publishers will be a great help. since indie publishers will definitely publish your book and it is faster and easier in the process. even though it will cost some expenses for the writer, but that is the consequence of taking indie publisher, and it is worthed. You will pay only for the number of books printed. And you can sell the books too.

                As for me finding this community has opened up my horizon to publish my books, I have been writing but never really think of publishing it before. Except for journals as a fulfilment. I would really acknowledge reading one of Pak Brian's books and publish my writing like him. Plus he also explains that he has a partner of an indie publisher named "GEmala"

                Publishing books for writers is like a life goal, it will be the biggest dream to publish the books we have written and make t a best seller book. There are many indie publishers to pick from. anytime you are ready with your script, immediately send it to the indie publisher. It will not take long until it is published. After you got the book then you will use Pak Brian's tips in promoting your books. 

                As for information Pak Brian Gave a link to Gemala Publisher's books, you can check on the link, there are about 41 books that have been published by Gemala publisher.

                It will be a good pick for the participant, how that there is another indie publisher introduced by the team. it could be hundreds maybe after this class is over, but no matter how the speakers from this great team motivate the participant to write and publish our books. If we can not motivate ourselves to write, it will be a waste. And as Bu Aam said earlier, Only a focused and determined writer will be a real writer after this class. So, Focus on your goal.

                 

                   The decision and the process with publishers will be the privilege of the writer. when this class is over everything will be decided by the individual. And the fulfilment to publish the book with Gemala will be detailed above. also on the link http://www.praszetyawan.com/2021/01/butuh-bantuan-menerbitkan-buku-disini.html

          Q&A session, the participants are eager to ask mostly related to technical process and terms of publishing at Gemala. Pak Brian Replied to every question based on his personal experience. He said that the publisher is near to where he lives, in Depok. So he thought that for him and the writers who lived nearby will not have to pay too high for the delivery.      

            Wrapping up the explanation after the Q & A session. I would say there is no one better to motivate you than yourself. It will be a lie to say that your biggest motivation comes from other people. Even Great motivators only help you a little in building what you have inside you. For me, everyone is a motivator and the great motivator can help other people to feel motivated then find themselves again.
