NEW!

When the pandemic hit a few years ago, the subscription box industry blew up and disrupted the majority of industries around the globe. 

The book industry was most definitely impacted. 

Hundreds of subscription box companies want to include books in their monthly or quarterly boxes. 

Some of them are looking at ebooks and audiobooks now, but most still want paperbacks! 

We started a new venture called Indie Book Box in May.

We have 23 authors already enrolled in our program!

We are currently enrolling authors to start with us starting in August and have EIGHT spots open. 

If you haven’t looked at how we’re supporting authors through Indie Book Box, please join us for our next webinar happening July 24th at 1 pm PST / 4 pm EST.
