In this episode of the Nurturing Librarian Podcast, Nicole discusses the importance of supporting independent authors in the current book market. With the rise of self-publishing platforms, indie authors face unique challenges and opportunities. While it's crucial to support libraries and indie bookstores, there's a debate about stepping away from giants like Amazon. The host encourages exploring platforms like Kobo Plus and listening to indie authors' audiobooks on Spotify. Additionally, seeking recommendations from local libraries and bookstores can help discover hidden literary gems as well as researching indie publishers.
