If you find your social feeds a tad too heavy on men's voices, follow and connect with these fantastic women experts on indie media
When someone asked the independent creator Isabelle Roughol for reading suggestions in the indie news entrepreneurial space, she came up with about a dozen excellent recommendations in seconds. All male.
"I know there are plenty of amazing women working in the field, but I'm looking for people *writing regularly about and for* the independent publishing sector. Who am I missing and should follow?," she asked her followers on LinkedIn.
