the dreamers & readers festival was canceled this week, and i know a lot of us are still processing that.

the authors who were going to be there? their books are still here. their work is still incredible. and they need our support now more than ever.

i’ve been reading indie authors for months in preparation for this festival, and these 15 are some of the ones i was excited to meet. now you can meet them through their books instead.

There are SO MANY more though.

if you’ve been looking for your next read - or if you just want to support indie authors who just lost a huge opportunity - the full list with links and notes is in my highlights under “D&F FEST” 📚
