Independent authors’ books are cataloged by our committee of professional IndieCat catalogers with decades of experience in the public and private sectors.
​
Digital Directory – Authors are provided a profile on our expansive digital directory, a customizable platform that showcases our members and can include their bios, books, photos, and videos, in addition to live links to websites, interviews, trailers, social media, and upcoming events. In addition, direct messaging from viewers wishing to purchase their books or services is also included.
​
Live Events – Members receive opportunities to attend live events, such as book fairs and conferences. These events afford our author's exposure to library professionals, educators, and industry professionals, as well as opportunities for networking, showcasing and selling their books.
