LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — LibraryBub is the industry’s first service dedicated to connecting indie and small-press authors with an extensive network of libraries. Imbued with the enthusiasm and ambition of its founder, the bestselling author Alinka Rutkowska, the core commitment of LibraryBub, which has been working with all major libraries for four years, 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.
The October list of outstanding books by self-publishing authors appears below. The featured publications have been well received by critics and are already proving popular with readers. Some have already become Amazon best sellers in their particular categories. The cream of the selected books are award winners 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. For Scottish comedian and writer Billy Connolly, going to the library changed his life. He recalls, “I lived in a dark and forbidding world as a kid. But I only had to leave our home and walk over the tramlines to Partick Library and a whole new world opened to me. Reading books showed me that there was something better, something other, out there. It made me realise that, despite the constant misery of my day‐to‐day existence, the world might actually be a good place, and an exciting one.” Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people’s lives and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska is delighted to support them in that role.

Children’s author Alan Hesse was thrilled to see “traction and interest” in his book that LibraryBub generated. He was impressed by the efforts to put his book (The Adventures of Polo the Bear) in front of librarians. Participating in the Author Remake program, he explains, “Not only am I getting great live education and advice from Alinka… but also this unexpected exposure to libraries, which somehow passed beneath my radar of expectations.”
