## Summary

Indie Author Magazine is published by Chelle Honiker and covers weekly publishing news, KDP and Kindle+ (formerly Kindle Unlimited) changes, marketing and author business profiles, with a free tier and paid subscriptions for full access and print. The same publisher runs Indie Author Training, a paid course marketplace, and the site carries advertorial and partner content, so some coverage is commercial. It reports and profiles rather than teaching step-by-step KDP setup.

## Pros

- Weekly roundup of publishing news relevant to KDP authors
- Long profiles of working indie authors' businesses

## Cons

- Full access requires a paid subscription
- Runs advertorials and promotes its sister course platform
