Now, this I could go on about all day! There are so many amazing indie authors out there that I absolutely love! I’m also going to include several hybrid authors (authors who are both indie-published and traditionally published) with a list of their indie books, because I know of several fantastic writers who straddle both worlds! Without further ado…on to the authors (in no particular order)!
Kellyn Roth, author of the Chronicles of Alice and Ivy.
Hannah Linder (aka Willowy Whisper), award-winning author of Never a Rooftop Again.

And, y’all, this doesn’t even skim the surface of all the indie authors out there! These are just the few authors off the top of my head that I’ve read and enjoyed! There are more yet whom I’ve not read (as of now...the future looks promising), and others whom I have but didn’t add (mainly because I wouldn’t consider them a “favorite”).
Have y’all read any of these authors? Which are your favorites? How do you show your support for your favorite indie authors? (If the answer is a half-hearted shrug, don’t worry! My post on Thursday is all about supporting indie authors!)
Wow, so many wonderful indie books out there! I so respect and admire all you guys!
I think my favourite Indie author is Jessica Glanser (author of Seabirds trilogy) and
can I include you even though I've only read Daylight so far? ❤️
Aw, thanks for putting me on here! I've read books by a lot of these authors, and they're so good!
Thank you so much for the shout-out! I haven't read most of the authors on this list, but those I have read are excellent and there are others on my TBR!
Just so readers know: Calligraphy Guild isn't available yet; it will be releasing this coming June! In the meantime, I do have three published works, and Short Story Collection vol. 1 is the most representative of my future work. :)
Aw, Grace, I feel incredibly honored to be on this list of amazing authors! Thank you! ❤️There are just so many talented indie authors out there - and like you, I've hardly scratched the surface. I finished a book by a new-to-me indie author last week, and I was like, "Why has this been hidden from me?" (More like why didn't I find it before now? 😂) Yay for indie authors!
