Submit Your Book By May 31

The North Carolina Author Project is a way for libraries to help independent, self-published authors get the

recognition they deserve.


Submit your book by May 31, 2023 for a chance to win $1,000. It’s free!


The Indie Author Project (IAP) is a publishing community of public libraries, authors, curators, and readers working together to connect library patrons with great indie-published books. IAP has assisted more than 12,000 indie authors to get into their local libraries. And the project works with top curation partners and librarians to identify the best indie eBooks available to readers.


Through this publishing community, authors submit eBooks directly to their local public library to then be vetted by industry editorial partners (such as Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and others) and regional library editorial boards.
