In response to queries, which have arisen from various quarters:
- Karen and I have too many titles we want to review. So we’re extending until 15.3.2022.
- Use the hashtags #ReadIndies or #ReadIndies2. Contributions using either, and published between 01.02.2022 and 15.03.2022 will be collated into the master event index.
- The definition of an independent publisher? There’s been some confusion particularly around US publishers. Here are two updated lists to consult, if you’re in any doubt that the book you’re reading is published independently. A) American Presses B) Independent Publishers Caucus These are in addition to the lists on the event introduction post.
- Titles should be chosen from the catalogues of current independent publishers.
- Self-published titles are not eligible for this event.
As we have not explicitly clarified points 4 and 5 before, “rule-bending” posts, already published, will be included in this year’s master index as rule-breakers.

Thank you for the clarification. Gutted to see my old Virago doesn’t count though.
The idea is to support those currently operating independently in these trying times. My frustration is all the MacLehose Press titles in my TBR. There are other events supporting Virago, but I might have to organise a MacLehose Press fortnight sometime in the near future.
I completely agree with your reasoning. It is so tough out there!
Yay! Wonderful! On another note, I didn’t know that Faber and Faber was an indie publisher! So nice to see them flying high after 93 years!
Your site is amazing. Thank you for the good content.
I’ll come by often, so please visit me a lot.
Thank you. Have a good day.
Thank you. But this blog is now full, and I’m now writing at http://www.lizzysiddal2.wordpress.com. Hope to see you there.
