WHY SHOULD YOU
Host an Event?
For libraries, Indie Author Day is a fantastic opportunity to bring together local indie authors, writers, and readers for a day of education, networking, workshops, and beyond. Fostering a community of local authorship and providing your patrons with access to exciting new literary voices is a huge part of why Indie Author Day has been so successful. Here’s what past participants have had to say:
“This is just a short THANK YOU for pushing me to hold our 2nd Annual Indie Author Day. It was a huge success. Thank you for taking care of the content with the short videos. Our group watched three and they generated a ton of discussion. As a result of this program, I now have two volunteers wanting to start a library writing group.”
– WT Bland Public Library; Mt. Dora, Florida

HOW TO MAKE YOUR
Event a Success
We want to help make your Indie Author Day a success, whether you’re a first-time host or a five-time veteran. Your event can be whatever you want it to be, the possibilities are endless, but for those wanting some more structure and guidance on how to put together a day of events, we’ve put together this handy dandy sample program for you to use.
Going virtual this year? No problem! Here’s a guide on how to do so while still engaging your local communities during this social distancing period.
Also, because of our generous sponsors, both past and present, we’re able to provide you with a selection of on-demand video workshops to use as supplemental content for your event. We also provide you promotional graphics to help market your event as well as informational content to help you make the most of your Indie Author Day.
