What is Indie Next + My Current Reading Priorities
These are my current reading priorities. As a bookseller, I am always reading on a deadline and sometimes that deadline does not work out in my favor.
I love participating in the indie next program, which is a way for booksellers to highlight upcoming books they love through a nomination based system. Indie Next nominations are especially important for debut authors, as it can prove to publishers that investment in these authors and titles is “worth it”.
Participation in the program means I’m reading 2-3 months ahead of publication schedules and prioritizing this schedule makes it hard for me to work in backlist, book club, and personal reading into my schedule. I’m packing for a weekend trip to the beach and trying to balance these books with some of the TBR titles I was hoping to take with me as well.
I guess this is what happens when you make your passion your job, but it’s worth it for the ability to impact the industry for good.
