Self Publishing

Local authors, use Pressbooks to create, edit, format, and generate print-ready and eBook formats for your books and instantly publish to the Indie Author Project. Get started by logging in with your BiblioBoard Library username and password.

Have a multimedia project in mind? Whether it’s your original music, a short film, or oral histories from your community, BiblioBoard® Creator makes it easy to bring your ideas to life. With Creator, you can create and publish projects to share with others. Explore these existing collections for inspiration. To get started, simply email support@biblioboard.com and request a username.

Authors submit books to the Indie Author Project (IAP) and share their book with readers in Richmond and throughout Virginia. If selected as an IAP Select title, your book could reach readers across the U.S. and Canada—and you’ll have the chance to opt into our Commercial Collections, which include royalty opportunities.

Please note: Authors submitting to the Indie Author Project give the Indie Author Project a non-exclusive license to make their ebook available to public library patrons via subscribing institutions in the public library market. Participation in the Indie Author Project does not restrict authors and their publishing service providers/future publishers in any manner from promoting and selling their ebooks to any market. Authors also reserve all intellectual and proprietary rights in the work— the Indie Author Project does not infringe upon that.

Discover local content from self-published authors, top indie eBooks, and so much more—all with no holds, checkouts, or lending limits. Enjoy unlimited access to titles in the Indie REGION collection and Indie Author Project Select. Download the BiblioBoard Library app for Apple, Android, or Kindle devices, or visit BiblioBoard Library on any web browser to start reading.
