Welcome to “Meet The Author!” This is a new series I’ve started here on The Picky Bookworm, as a way for you to meet new authors, and get to know them.
I’m really big on community, and my dream for this company is to build one where authors, especially indie and self-published, can feel seen, supported, and encouraged. If you are interested in submitting for this series, you can visit this page, and fill out the form.
In the meantime, please enjoy today’s meet the author post, Sloane McClain.

Pamela has been a reader her whole life. She specializes in indie and self-published books, and dreams of a community where authors can feel supported and encouraged. Because of this, her editing services are priced specifically with self-published author budgets in mind.
She also loves connecting other readers with hidden gems from the indie community through book reviews and showcases authors through her podcast and “Meet the Author” blog series. Her book-inspired gift shop is an amazing place to find book inspired candles, book gift sets, and other amazing items.
When Pamela is not working on The Picky Bookworm, you can find her hanging with her friends on Twitter, pinning amazing pins on Pinterest, reading, spending time with her husband, or playing with her cats Simon and Glenn. Sometimes all at the same time.
