In the Spring of 2023, the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi)<\/strong> commissioned a research survey into self-publishing author income: the Indie Author Income Survey 2023. (You can see\/listen to ALLi's Orna Ross talk about it in Episode 128 of the D2D Self-Publishing Insider Podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, ALLi also reached out to Draft2Digital and other key indie organizations across the self-publishing sector for as much data as they could provide. This provided the information contained in what they call The Big Indie Author Data Drop<\/strong>. This summary offers extracts from larger reports, so that the reader can explore some highlights and follow up in more detail as needed. ALLi intends to keep supplementing and updating this data collation, and we intend to continue to share our data with them, and with the author and publishing community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five of the eight high-level findings from the report (with the source for the findings highlighted in bold<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
