experiment
explained:
Experiment42 was founded in 2023 on the hypothesis that independent authors can advocate for their own visibility by taking complete ownership over their own work.
The experiment predicts that authors can hold proprietorship of their writing and still produce high quality projects. A favorable experiment results in ex42 assisting authors in bringing their publication dreams to fruition without compromising shares of their work.
SO, I CREATED EXPERIMENT 42.
To help indie authors have commercial-quality launches.
Empower them to set their own publication budgets.
Entitle them to retain all of the equity of their own work.
& remind them that there’s no “one-size-fits-all” for their book.
you need a prescription.
When I set out to publish my sophomore novel independently, I wanted to give myself a commercial-quality experience. I needed an expert. Yet, everyone I connected with was trying to sell me their “all-inclusive publishing package” with little to no credibility or customization.
I decided that I needed a well-researched, prescriptive plan for my novel, a custom strategy to build the next step in my career.
So, I spent three years studying & networking in the book industry.
I thought to myself:
"every indie author should have the tools to do this."
