Finding indie books: common questions

What can I find on IndieUnlimited?

IndieUnlimited is an independent book discovery directory with reading guides, author spotlights and listings across fantasy, romance, mysteries, science fiction and more. Browse the directory to compare titles, authors, languages and story themes.

Does it cost anything to browse or submit a book?

Browsing the directory is free, and authors can submit a book for free consideration. Optional paid featured placements are separate and labeled Sponsored. Listing does not guarantee sales or a review.

How do I check whether a book is included in Kindle Unlimited?

Follow the book’s Amazon link and check the current ebook edition in your region. Inclusion and availability can change. A book being sold for Kindle does not by itself mean it is included in Kindle Unlimited. Read the sample before deciding whether it suits you.

Where should I start if I am new to indie books?

Choose a genre you already enjoy, then compare a few premises and try an opening sample. Our fantasy, romantasy and cozy mystery guides offer places to begin. Check series order and optional content notes when those details matter to your choice.

Your book belongs in the conversation.
