IPC believes we are stronger together. Through their program Indie-to-Indie, IPC provides resources and creates opportunities to strengthen the relationship between independent publishers and independent booksellers. One great resource is their Indie-to-Indie newsletter, which includes a themed playlist of titles, available galleys, and other promotions from member presses. They also provide fellowships for indie booksellers to attend international book festivals in their Books Across Borders program, of which SIBA is a sponsor. Learn more from Daniel O’Brien on how you can use their resources to sell more books in your store and raise awareness of the rich literary offerings of independent presses.
