So, if I occasionally feel like I know what I'm doing. Does that mean I don't get compensation? 😜 😂

Hey there!

I'm CKMo, and I'm a taiwanese high fantasy indie author. I'm trying to bring more works with influences into western culture via my novels.

The video is made using a still picture of a dimly lit, antique looking library wall. The wall is illuminated by a row of hanging Edison lightbulbs. The books on the shelves appear to be arranged somewhat haphazardly. Partially covering the library image, in the center of it, is a black frame with a darker, semi-transparent background which adds a worn look to the picture behind it. In this frame are a set of captions in antique gold with a black outline, which read in this order: "Looking for a new indie author to support? Check out my high fantasy series, Below the Heavens! Here’s what you’ll find inside: A detailed world crafted from scratch with its own unique magic system and political struggles. A realm full of dragons, spirits, magical auramasters, and battles for power and control! A charismatic protagonist using his quick wits to try to survive in this tumultuous world and find his way back home. A large and diverse cast of likeable (and not likeable) supporting characters and antagonists! A free, multi-book series in the works. Book one out now!"

Hey there!

Figured I'd create a handy little video about some places to find indie novels for free.

If you know of any other places to support indie authors for free, please drop them in the comments!

The video begins on a graphic created using a picture of a black book on a red tablecloth. The picture has been edited to replace the cover of the book. The edited cover is an illustration of a landscape that is dark, a sprawling castle with a kingdom surrounding it, misty clouds twisting between structures. In the sky framing the tallest center spire is a vast circular halo made of glowing flame and light. The captions in these frames of the video read: "Places to find indie books for free!" The next frames include a real life video of mountains with a dark cloudy sky in the background, large pines and other trees in the foothills and midground, and a field of wheat with a rusted farm-grade rolling sprinkler in it on the foreground. The captions in this portion of the video read: "Webnovel! You can find novels, webcomics, and fanfic on this website. Isekai, LitRPG, Fantasy, SciFi, Comedy, Slice of Life, Fanfic, and Romance are just a few popular genres! Royal Road! This website is a great place to find novels and book series with asian and/or anime influences. Isekai, Xianxia, LitRPG, Progression Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, SciFi, and Comedy are just a few popular genres! Scribblehub! This website is also good for finding novels and book series with asian and/or anime influences. Isekai, Xianxia, LitRPG, Fantasy, SciFi, Comedy, Supernatural, Fanfic, and Adult are just a few popular genres!"

Seeing that other people have read something and also what they think about it will entice prospective readers. Interact with them and their social media posts! Share and comment on their posts, participate in Q&As, make fanart/fiction and post it with a tag, recommend them to other readers, and more! Indie authors rely heavily on their community, so the more you get the word out, the better!"

The video starts with a photo of a book cover mockup for Below the Heavens - JiangXi. The photo is of a black book on a red cloth background, with the book cover edited on to it. This frame is about three seconds long. The rest of the video is of a live landscape with a clouded and misty mountain range in the background, trees and forest in the midground, and a field of hay in the foreground. The video audio is of a narration of an excerpt from the novel, with subtitles on screen as the excerpt is read.
