2023 Indie Author & Small Press Reading Challenge

Starts: Sunday, 01 January 2023

Ends: Sunday, 31 December 2023

Welcome to the 2023 Indie Author & Small Press Reading Challenge! For this challenge, read (and review!) 6 indie, self-published, and/or small press books of your choosing. Help support small presses and authors who don't have the resources of large publishers (such as the Big Five or their imprints) by reading or listening to their books and then leaving a review.

Small press definition for this challenge: Any press not affiliated with the Big Five (or their imprints) that releases only a handful of titles during the year (it's up to you to determine what that number should be).
