We’re launching our Heritage Author Republication Project (HARP) on October 1, so here’s a great opportunity to get to know what mentorship will look like for the tech-savvy mentors, ask questions, and firm up where you’d like to help out.

HARP is dedicated to helping SFWA members with out-of-print works find a “second home” for their materials in digital form. If you have your rights reverted and would like to digitize your work, either for preservation or indie-publishing, check out our meet-and-greet for potential mentees on Sunday, September 7.

This mentor-prep event is open to all SFWA members interested in learning more about how to be a mentor or support this program in other ways. Learn more about HARP and benefits of being a mentor here:

The SFWA Independent Authors Committee invites you to join us at our virtual meetup. Each month, the meetup features an expert speaker for thirty minutes of programming followed by opportunities to ask questions and network with the SFWA indie authors community. This month’s topic: Vanessa Ricci-Thode discusses how she catapulted her self-published middle-grade/YA novella, “The Young Necromancer’s Guide to Ghosts” into winning the 2025 Andre Norton Nebula Award for Middle Grade and Young Adult Fiction, becoming the first self-published author to win a Nebula.
