LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LibraryBub, an industry first, is dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries. Founded in 2015, it is imbued with the enthusiasm and ambition of its founder, the bestselling author Alinka Rutkowska. Working 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.

This month's list of notable books by self-publishing authors appears below. The selected publications have been exuberantly greeted by independent critics and have been embraced by devotees and newfound readers alike. Some have already become Amazon best sellers in their particular categories, while the very best of the books have won awards within the independent publishing sector. 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. English novelist Salley Vickers recalled the influence on her childhood of her local librarian. She introduced her to books that she would never have otherwise had the chance to read. "These books nurtured my imagination and enabled me to withstand family problems by peopling my inner world with friends and allies who provided a support that was not available in the so-called 'real' world. They also introduced me to other ways of seeing the world – other times, other cultures, other philosophies of life than those held by my parents or school, which gave me a broader, richer vision of life's possibilities." 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.

Author Laura Hunter was grateful for all that LibraryBub did to keep her novel Beloved Mother in the public's vision. "To have so many librarians respond to your publication is overwhelming," she said. "Having been an educator, I understand the time lapse that will occur between now and the budget time for schools, and I am comfortable with that. To have access to what is available and how to get the materials is helpful for both writers and librarians."
