Created by an indie author,
for indie authors & indie lovers.
Fun fact: many well-known authors started off indie, including Callie Hart, the author of Quicksilver, and Sable Sorensen, the authors of Direbound.
Just because indie books are not on shelves in Waterstones or B&N doesn't mean they're not good enough. Sometimes the authors just want to have full creative control of their work. The same work that big publishing houses have TEAMS doing for them... most indie authors do them by themselves.
2026 is the year of indie authors and we're here to help them shine, and help YOU discover all these hidden gems.
