Indie Author Advent 2025 FAQ

Thank you for your interest in my indie author advent leading up to 2026! I am so excited to spotlight some of the indie book releases of the year before the new year begins!

What is the Indie Author Advent?

The Indie Author Advent is my excuse to feature 2025 indie releases in a cute and fun way. People love the surprise of an Advent calendar, and a book rec is always welcome in the bookish space. 

Does this cost money?

It is totally free to participate. The only "cost" is a bit of your time to fill out the form and do the interview if you signed up for it.

Is this related to Christmas?

It is not related to any holiday. It is simply a countdown to the new year. The only reason it has the advent component is to emphasize the reveal and it feels like a prize each day to get a new rec.

How does it work?

Every day (or every other, depending on sign-ups), I will feature an indie author and their 2025 release[s]. They will be featured here on my blog, my Instagram, and my Bluesky. 

The posts will tag the author (if they are on that platform), include their cover images, showcase how to purchase your releases, hype the rep in the book[s] (if applicable), and my blog post will include a short interview if that author signed up for that.

How do I sign up?

Fill out the Google form with your author information and keep an eye out for an email from me (readintowonderland@yahoo.com) if you are selected. 

When does the event run?

It is from December 1st to December 31st!

What do you need from authors?

I need all of the responses to the questions in the Google form, along with highly quality cover images of all of your 2025 releases.

If you signed up for a brief author interview, I will send those questions to you via email.
