10th ANNUAL
Our goal for Indie Author Day (IAD) has always been to bring libraries, authors, and readers together on one single day each year. While the first six years have helped us achieve that goal, we expanded our thinking about Indie Author Day in 2021.
Libraries and organizations can register to host an event any time throughout the year, and we will continue to be a resource to help ensure your event is a success in your community. On Friday, November 13th, we’ll host live author panels throughout the day, concluding with the announcement of our 2026 Indie Author Project contest winners in a live, virtual awards ceremony. Join us on this exciting journey as we continue to grow this community!

Each year, libraries and organizations around the world bring local indie authors, writers, and their communities together for a day of education, networking, writing, open mics, live panels, and so much more! Whether you currently have a similar event planned or would like to start one, registering with us is free and you gain access to all of our resources, workshop videos, promotional graphics, and support.
