The Alliance for Independent Authors (ALLI) is a professional organization for self-publishing and independent authors based in the UK—though with international members—and founded by Orna Ross,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.londonbookfair.co.uk/en/Contributors/133880/Orna-Ross )〕 a London-based Irish writer. ALLI was formed in 2012 as a nonprofit and offers paid memberships to authors, depending on their professional status. ALLI organizes networking events and PR campaigns which have included, "Ethical Author,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thebookseller.com/futurebook/futurebook14-big-idea-ethical-author )〕" "Ethical Partner" and "Open up to Indie Authors."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kobowritinglife.com/2014/04/03/opening-up-to-indie-authors/ )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UK Indie Publisher - Member Alliance of Independent Authors )〕 ALLI aims to help indie authors avoid publishing mistakes, while also acting as a watchdog in the industry against publishing services that take advantage of unaware writers. They also help authors focus on the business of publishing: how to publish professionally and navigating the publishing options to choose the most profitable path. ALLI and its founder Orna Ross have been featured in the BBC, ''The Guardian'', Digital Book World, ''Publishers Weekly'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/industry-deals/article/58864-pubmatch-in-deal-with-indie-author-group.html )〕 and ''Forbes''. Notable Advisors (who work in the self-publishing industry but are trusted to give unbiased advice) include Smashwords founder Mark Coker,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3quE1CUvL8 )〕 Jane Friedman (who teaches publishing at the University of Virginia), and ''The New York Times'' and ''USA Today'' bestselling author Joanna Penn The "Indie Author Fringe Fest" of 2015,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.foyles.co.uk/Indie-Triskele )〕 which took place in association with The London Book Fair's Book & Screen Week event, was attended by Porter Anderson, Associate Editor of TheFutureBook.net, and representatives from Apple iBooks, BookBub, IngramSpark and Clay's. ALLI also has a working relationship with Kobo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kobowritinglife.com/2014/04/03/opening-up-to-indie-authors/ )〕 Due to the lack of similar organizations, even non-members have referred authors to ALLI when they ask for professional organizations that safeguard the rights of indie authors. Other reasons ALLI is recommended, is to offset the isolation and frustration - the psychological fatigue - that most indie authors feel when beginning to think about publishing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://bookgarage.com/blog/2015/06/16/pros-and-cons-of-being-an-indie-author/ )〕 == Publications == * ''How I Self-Publish'' * ''Choosing a Self-Publishing Service'' * ''Opening up to Indie Authors'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Alliance for Independent Authors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
