What is The Book Bazaar?
To put it simply, authors/indie presses run their own crowdfunding campaign during the event, as part of the event, with hopes of funding their publishing project. All campaigns run at the same time, and each campaign cross-promotes one another.
All projects as part of The Book Bazaar will start at the same time and end at the same time โ (tentatively) from November 12th, 2025 to December 3rd, 2025. Each campaign runs on an all-or-nothing basis, like all crowdfunding projects, which means if they don’t meet their minimum goal, they can’t create their projects. ๐ That’s why we’re hoping to count on you, the lovely reader, to help uplift these publishers and really make this paradise something special!
Plus, the more projects you back, the more rewards you’ll get. Each Book Bazaar project is paired with another project, and by backing both Bazaar projects, you’ll get EXTRA free rewards! Back all Bazaar projects to maximize your rewards.
Best of all โ all projects are verified created by humans! You can feel confident that you are supporting real human authors by backing any of our projects. Plus, projects using AI in whole or part are not allowed on the BackerKit platform.
Are you an publisher or author interested in participating in The Book Bazaar 2025? Apply now! Applications will close in July so make sure to get your application in now!
