October 8, 2016: Indie Author Day




Mark your calendar for October 8, 2016: Indie Author Day.  On this day, indie authors and all members of the writing community will gather at their local libraries to participate in community-based activities like author panels, book readings, writing workshops, presentations from local industry specialists and more.  


Why Should I Participate in Indie Author Day?

Besides being a unique opportunity for libraries and authors to connect locally and globally, Indie Author Day offers an exciting chance to network, discover new friendships and form business partnerships. It’s incredibly important for all authors, regardless of whether they’re traditionally or independently published, to get involved with their fellows in the writing community, shop at their local bookstores, and frequent their local libraries. These are the individuals and the institutions who will be your biggest support group.
