The virtual event series Indie Shindig is returning for 2021 with more programming aimed at connecting independent booksellers, publishers, and authors, and raising funds for two worthy organizations: Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation and We Need Diverse Books (WNDB). This initiative is spearheaded by Workman Publishing Co., Inc., in partnership with Abrams Books, Bloomsbury Publishing, Candlewick Press, Chronicle Books, and Sourcebooks.
Indie Shindig will consist of six events this year, each of which will last one hour, occurring on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, from Monday, May 10, through Monday, July 26 at 4 p.m. EST and take place on Zoom.
Participating publishers will split a donation of $20 per bookseller attendee for each event between The Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation and We Need Diverse Books (WNDB).
