Mystery Author Digger Cartwright Announces Formation of the National Federation of Self-Published Author Entrepreneurs (NFSPAE)

Orlando, FL, Miami, FL & Washington, D.C. April 15, 2013 - The office of Digger Cartwright, mystery novelist and industrialist, has announced the creation of the National Federation of Self-Published Author Entrepreneurs, NFSPAE, a membership organization whose mission is to help serious and dedicated self-published authors turn their writing endeavors into an entrepreneurial business venture. The National Federation of Self-Published Author Entrepreneurs will help independent, self-published authors focus on the business side of promoting and marketing their books for maximum exposure.

Mr. Cartwright issued the following statement regarding the announcement of the National Federation of Self-Published Author Entrepreneurs:

"As a self-published author, I've spent the last decade promoting and marketing my own books through various channels. It took me and my team a long time to learn the most effective and most efficient ways to gain exposure for self-published books. It is no easy task for self-published authors to get exposure for their books and successfully convert that exposure into book sales. We are at a tremendous disadvantage compared to authors who enjoy the extensive resources of traditional publishing houses, but through a variety of efforts and collaboration with each other, we can overcome the challenges facing us. Other organizations provide self-published writers with resources to improve their writing skills and publish their books. We want to do more than that. We want to help self-published authors who are serious about their work and who are willing to dedicate themselves and whatever resources they can afford to successfully marketing and promoting their books to gain exposure and publicity. Seeing the need for a forum to help self-published authors with the business and marketing side, I decided to start NFSPAE. It is my intention that NFSPAE will be a forum for self-published authors to learn some of the tools I've implemented, share their successful experiences with other members, ask questions of one another, and work towards the common goal of turning our writing endeavors into successful business enterprises."

Additional information can be found at www.NFSPAE.org. The anticipated launch date for the membership-based website is fall 2013. NFSPAE will offer a variety of membership options and services for serious self-published authors.
