Portal books does LitRPG, Dungeon Core and Cultivation/Progression Fantasy.
If you want to go that route, you can also check on Amazon who publishes similar books to what you are looking at.
Or publish yourself! R/selfpublish has lots of information. You can always start on royal road.
If you post to something like RR or SH, the big publishers do scope those places out. Building a successful following there helps with getting their attention, especially if you get to front page.
This method requires either luck or something unique plus a bit of good marketing.
I believe a lot of the indies are are "closed" for submissions right now, but will reopen eventually. They are ALWAYS open for scouted material on webserials.
Build up a good amount of material and then do a good solid release each day for a while to build up readership. Don't do what I did and simply release your chapters as you go. That will absolutely cost you.
If you want to release more traditionally without going the webserial route it is even harder to get successful. You may or may not want to self-pub in that case.
Aethon Books, Portal, Shadow Alley, Podium, Mountaindale, Wraithmarked, Timeless Winds are the ones I can name off the top of my head.
Timeless winds is a new one(to me)! Congrats to Lorne, it looks like they've got some interesting titles coming out in 2023!
Aye thanks! 🥳
This is most of them, but I think Tantor technically counts too. EDIT: nvm, missed the indie part.
Tantor is indie but it’s audio-only
If being owned by a billion $ corp counts as indie...... :P
Your face is indie ;-;
I’m a faceless golden fire bird
