Indie Author Project
SUBMIT YOUR EBOOK!
Indie Author Project (IAP) allows authors to submit their works for inclusion in the Biblioboard Indie Connecticut Collection. Works are further evaluated by editorial partners for possible inclusion in the IAP Select collection, which is available at participating libraries across the U.S. At that point the title will be available for library purchase on OverDrive and other library ebook platforms. Authors may earn royalties on ebooks that are purchased.
