Indie Publishers Association of Taiwan
Indie Publishers Association of Taiwan, established at the end of 2015, is a coalition of micro and independent publishers as well as individual creators in Taiwan. The association’s main mission is to promote independent publishing and cultivate a vibrant reading culture outside the mainstream book market.
Currently, the association brings together more than 40 publishing houses and several independent publishers, covering a wide range of genres and topics. Members are often small-scale teams or even one-person operations, and are characterized by their flexibility, creativity, and willingness to take risks with unconventional content.
Key Activities and Goals:
-
Organizing joint booths and events at major book fairs such as the Taipei International Book Exhibition.
-
Hosting talks, exhibitions, and activities to foster connections among independent publishers, readers, and the public.
-
Sharing resources and marketing efforts to help members reach a wider audience despite limited budgets.
The Indie Publishers Association acts as a collaborative platform, injecting diversity and innovation into Taiwan’s publishing industry while supporting the sustainability and visibility of independent publishing voices.
