📚✨ At Local. Pub. Co., we believe Iowa voices deserve Iowa shelves. That’s why we’re hitting the road, connecting with independent bookstores across the state to make sure the incredible stories coming from indie authors right here in Iowa are finding their way into the hands of readers.
Indie publishing is powerful; it gives everyday Iowans the chance to tell their stories, build their brands, and share perspectives that might otherwise never be heard. But publishing is just the first step. Books are meant to be read, passed around, gifted, and loved — and that happens when they’re on local shelves.
By partnering with independent bookstores, we’re building bridges:
Between Iowa authors and Iowa readers
Between local stories and local shelves
Between small publishers and the communities they serve
This is how we grow a literary culture in Iowa that rivals anywhere else — one shelf, one book, one reader at a time. 🌾
👉 At Local. Pub. Co., our mission is simple: amplify Iowa authors, so their stories echo far beyond where they were written.
