X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The Indie Author Project (IAP) is a publis
 hing community that includes public libraries\, authors\, curators\, and r
 eaders working together to connect library patrons with great indie-publis
 hed books on the BiblioBoard Library discovery platform. Authors are able 
 to submit e-books directly to IAP\, which are then vetted by editorial par
 tners like Library Journal and regional library editorial boards. Being se
 lected by these curators can lead to expanded discovery\, distribution\, a
 nd networking opportunities.</p>\n<p>Once accepted\, your work will appear
  in the Indie Florida Collection and be available to readers here in Jacks
 onville (and all over Florida). The best of these books will be awarded th
 e Indie Author Project Select Award and made available to readers througho
