As we close out the year and look forward to the approaching New Year, I wanted to round up all of the posts I’ve been lucky enough to feature from independent publishers and authors this year. There have been so many brilliant books, wonderful authors and lovely publishers who have been part of my Friday feature and I cannot begin to thank them enough for entrusting me with their books and tales, it’s an honour to be asked to review any book and I always feel so privileged.
I’ve recapped the posts from Urbane Publications, Orenda Books and No Exit Press so far, and due to flu I’ve not had a chance to pull together the posts for the other publishers who have been part of Celebrating Indie Publishing yet, but here goes! A huge end of year round up of Indie Publishing on The Quiet Knitter.

Wow, what a year it’s been! I can honestly say that I’ve discovered some absolutely brilliant books this year, some were ones that I might not have noticed if I had not been making such an effort to read more indie books – just shows you, there are hidden gems out there, you just have to open your eyes to the possibilities of brilliance!
Thank you authors, publishers, readers, bloggers, everyone who has taken time to read my Celebrating Indie Publishing feature, everyone who has commented on the posts, your support this year has been immense and I definitely would not have managed this without you all.
Oh my goodness 😢 this makes me pretty sad. I hope you are receiving good care and have plenty of help so you can rest – xx
Still fighting the flu & have laryngitis now so really not a well person 😞
Please tell me you are feeling better my friend? 💗 Wow you had such a great year! I love all that you do for the indie book scene. So important-xx
You need to get better soon, I can’t stand the thought of my darling Kate being stuck with the flu!!!!
You’ve had a brilliant blogging year and I love this feature!
