Indie Author Project

Share your eBooks with new readers at library systems locally and potentially all across the U.S. and Canada with the Indie Author Project. 

This service is free for all authors, no matter how you have chosen to indie publish. The submission process takes about 5 minutes, and you are welcome to submit as many of your books as you would like. Before you submit, please make sure that your book is:
• A PDF or an ePUB file
• In the English language
• An original work to which you own the rights
Once submitted, your book will be passed through the review process, and you will be notified within 4–6 weeks if your book has been chosen as an Indie Author Project Selection.
All submissions, regardless of audience or genre, may be included in your local regions collection, if you so choose!
