11am Indie Author Project(IAP) is a publishing community that includes multiple curation partners, all built to help libraries find the best indie books and share them with their patrons. As a writer you can submit to IAP, your book can be shared with patrons of participating libraries across your region. If your book is selected by our curation partners, it will also be available alongside other great indie reads in participating libraries across the U.S. and Canada. Come see if your book qualifies and how to get started!
Noon Bring a bag lunch, peruse the books, chat with new and old friends to build your writing/reading community and/or take a walk. Hot and cold drinks provided.
