For Authors
List your books for free, set honest content ratings, and reach readers who are looking for exactly what you write. Start by creating an author profile, then submit and manage your catalog from your author dashboard.
Sign in, then choose Become an author and set up your author profile — pen name, bio, and links. Once it's created you'll have an author dashboard for submitting and managing books.
From your author dashboard, start a new book and work through the steps: details, genres, content ratings, cover image, and purchase links. Submit it for review and you'll be notified by email when it goes live.
You choose a level (0–4, or Not rated) for each content category for your book. Honest ratings are the heart of Spotlight on Indie — they help the readers who want your kind of book find it.
