For readers & reviewers
Discover your next favorite read
Spotlight on Indie was built for readers who love independent books from real people telling the stories in their imaginations, and to make finding the right one effortless.
How it works
Books are added by our team or submitted directly by indie authors and small presses. Every listing carries the title and cover, series info, author, primary genre, book type (from short story to novel to graphic novel), links, and more. We review each submission to make sure it meets our guidelines before it joins our catalog.
Built for discovery

A visual book grid
Every listing shows full cover art, so you can judge a book by its cover, just a little.

Purchase links

Find the right book, no unpleasant surprises
Sorting the wheat from the chaff is hard. So we ask every author to rate their book on the four things readers most want to know, each on a clear 0–4 scale.
Language
Profanity and crude language.
Violence
Depiction of violence, gore, and peril.
Romance / Sex
Romantic and sexual content
Biblical Themes
Presence of Christian / biblical themes.
Filter the whole catalog by the maximum level you're comfortable with on each.
