March begins tomorrow, and my celebration of Indie & Small Presses begins as well. I thought that I would post a schedule of the events for the month, so everyone could refer to it.
Think of all the diversity you’ll miss if you don’t check out the fiction, poetry, and other publishers here in the United States and Canada. There will be guest reviews of independently published books and interviews and naturally some regular features that you’re used to here on the blog.
I’ll update the post links as the month goes along, but be sure to check back every day in March for the latest celebratory post. Sundays will be reserved for Mailbox Mondays or simply a break from the celebration.
Please ignore the strike-through in the links; I’ve tried to eliminate it to no avail.

Not all of these links will be live. Links will become active on the date of posting.
If you’re interested in filing in any of the blank dates with a guest review of an indie or small press published book, please let me know what date via email and what book you’ll be reviewing.
Reviews should contain publisher information as well.
Yay for Indies.
great post.
I woke up Sunday a.m. to find my blog, my 500 plus followers, my 100plus author interviews, and my 200 plus reviews gone. Blogger gave no explanation, but I think the account was hacked. Change your password often!
I have reloaded the interviews and reviews, plus redesigned the blog. But if you could, please hit the “follow” button so I can reclaim the fellow bloggers I miss. I’m still following you, as my account remained–thank goodness!

This is a great idea, Serena! I’d really like to start focusing at least part of my reading on Indie books and small presses. I’m so glad your highlighting some of them and some of the books!
~ Amy
I hope that these highlighted presses have something to offer everyone. Please do check out each post this month.
Quite a list.
Ann
It’s still filling up at the end of the month.
I sure wish I could have participated! Guess that is just a big giant kick in the pants for me to focus a little more on small press books!
LOL. There’s still time to participate later in the month if you come across something really great.
I hope everyone enjoys it. I’ll try to add links promptly as the posts go up.
Looks like a great lineup!
How fun. I love to see indie presses getting more attention so I’ll be checking back to see which new publishers are out there that I must check out.
