Vibrant Debut Fiction Featured in LibraryBub Selection for September

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LibraryBub was established by bestselling author Alinka Rutkowska in 2015. An industry first, it is dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries. Imbued with the enthusiasm and ambition of its founder, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. Offering an extensive range of outreach and output, Rutkowska enables thousands of emerging authors to achieve publishing success.

LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. "Libraries were a huge part of my life," Newbery Honor laureate Kimberly Brubaker Bradley recalls. She was keen to have her finger on the pulse. "When I was growing up, my mom and I went every week to the Georgetown branch library, and sometimes made trips to the main library downtown, where I loved the enormous globe in the lobby. In Indianapolis, the library printed lists of upcoming new releases; I kept careful watch so I could always check out the new Dick Francis novels the day they were released." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.

This month's list of standout books by self-publishing authors appears below. The selected publications have impressed independent critics and have been enthusiastically received by devotees and newfound readers alike. Some have already become Amazon best sellers in their particular categories. Impressively, several of the books have won awards within the independent publishing sector.

Below is this month's selection by category.
