What is the Indie Author Project (IAP)?

The Indie Author Project (IAP) is a publishing community that includes public libraries, authors, curators, and readers working together to connect library patrons with great indie-published books. IAP has helped hundreds of libraries engage their local creative community and assisted in getting over 25,000 indie ebooks into their local libraries.

Through this publishing community, authors can submit ebooks directly to their local public library to then be vetted by industry editorial partners and library editorial boards. Being selected by these curators can lead to expanded discovery, marketing, and networking opportunities.

Indie Author Project (IAP) is a free, non-exclusive community connecting indie authors with libraries and readers, allowing creators to retain all rights while expanding visibility. The mission of IAP has always been to connect independent authors and local libraries, and to foster this relationship in a way that elevates quality indie books and gets them into the hands of patrons in their author’s own communities and beyond.
