INDI Publishing Group, founded by Jerry D. Simmons, former Time Warner Book Group executive, has recently added Cecile Tiernan as publisher. Together, they seek to fill a niche for the under recognized group of writers within the publishing industry. Realizing that the traditional protocol for publishing means that many writers and would-be authors will never get to see their works printed, Simmons and Tiernan combined their more than sixty years of expertise together in order to assist unknown names break their way into the literary world.

Despite the aversion that many may have towards non-traditional published books, Simmons and Tiernan, who have both worked with over hundreds of New York Times Best Selling authors and books, are confident that by accepting a small amount of clients from talented writers, they can raise the bar and establish independent publishing in its own authoritative, established niche. By working hand in hand with these select authors, INDI Publishing Group seeks to enhance the reputation and market for independent publishing as the industry moves away from the model of New York publishing companies and towards independent publishing.
