Shelved Joins the Indie Ontario Collection!

Square graphic showing an outline map of Ontario in blue with the words Indie Ontario in bold gray text across the center. In the upper right corner is the cover of the book Shelved by Jacqueline Cooper and Lauren Hoste, featuring a long aisle of brown library shelves. Below, black text reads: “Shelved has found its shelf in the Indie Ontario Collection. Read it free on BiblioBoard.” The Little Goodbyes Press logo appears in the lower right corner.


Lauren and I are both thrilled to share that Shelved has officially been added to the Indie Ontario collection and the Indie Canada collection and is now available to readers through BiblioBoard! For those who haven’t used it before, BiblioBoard is a digital library platform that lets anyone in Ontario read local books online, no library card required.

Indie Ontario is part of the Indie Author Project, which highlights independently published books by American and Canadian authors and makes them available through libraries.

Seeing Shelved included alongside other Ontario indie titles feels like such a meaningful milestone. This little book about finding your place on the shelf has, quite literally, found its shelf.

Once I got used to its quirks, it became a reliable part of my process. Tip: Keep all of the files that you are uploading into Scribus in one folder and save the finished file in that same fo...
