Independent authors have an exciting opportunity to showcase their work and compete for a $2,500 prize in the Indie Author Project Annual Contest, now open for submissions.
The contest, which runs from April 1st to May 31st, seeks to recognize the best indie-published books across a variety of genres, including Mystery/Thrillers, Romance, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Historical Fiction, General/Contemporary Fiction, Memoir, and Young Adult. Winners will not only receive cash prizes but also gain valuable exposure in the publishing world.
A Platform for Indie Authors
The Indie Author Project is a nationwide initiative that helps self-published authors connect with libraries and readers across the country. Through platforms like BiblioBoard Library, authors can publish and share their eBooks, making their work accessible to readers in South Carolina and beyond without the limitations of check-outs or waitlists.
York County already has a curated collection of books from local authors submitted through the Indie Author Project, giving the community a chance to discover homegrown literary talent.
More Than Just a Contest
In addition to the competition, the Indie Author Project offers ongoing support for writers through:
- Monthly webinars covering writing and publishing topics
- Pressbooks, an easy-to-use platform for formatting professional eBooks and print-ready files
- Networking opportunities to connect with other authors and industry professionals
