Definition: Indie? It's a term used by people who enjoy writing and self-publishing books. Think of indie authors as those who don't have to go through the normal publishing process and instead rely on their own hard work and imagination to make their books a hit.

Here’s an example sentence: "I just read an excellent indie author's book about dogs and it was fantastic! Indie writers are the ones who write for themselves, not for publishers." Indie authors are self-published.
