We believe indie bookstores are some of the most active, creative, and influential segments of the book industry, and vital to its future. Our mission is to help independent bookstores be successful businesses.

Become a SIBA Sponsor
Being a SIBA sponsor is an investment in the vitality and future of independent bookselling. Sponsorship not only provides name recognition and promotional opportunities for your company or organization, it also underwrites educational and development programs for booksellers, whose support and enthusiasm are the key to breaking out so many titles. SIBA loves to work year-round with anyone who is interested in a special project and welcomes creative ideas for engaging our members.

Publishers and Vendors
SIBA is your connection to reaching hundreds of booksellers (and thousands of their customers) in the South. SIBA makes it easy for you to get your books in front of the most reliable and passionate influencers: SIBA’s Independent Booksellers! Indie booksellers are trusted sources for readers looking for a new book, making indie bookstores a powerful channel for breaking out new titles and services.
Authors
Authors and independent bookstores are natural collaborators. Indie bookstores love to support local authors, and there is no better advocate for a debut author's book than an indie bookseller who has read it, loved it, and become an ardent cheerleader for it. Connecting authors with booksellers is one of SIBA's primary goals, which we support through our author member benefits.
