Second Chance Book Festival
ICYMI
BECAUSE BOOKS DON'T HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE
About Us:
This 3-day digital festival allows publishers to highlight their backlist titles in an affordable and dynamic way. The event will also feature opportunities to host author events, panel discussions, giveaways, and more to connect with potential readers and other publishers. Last but not least, because even backlist titles deserve to be considered for awards, we will work with a team of independent judges to award books in four categories (Fiction, Nonfiction, Young Adult, and Children’s) with the ICYMI Best Of Award.
Books will be highlighted on the website leading up to the festival, and will continue to be promoted for six months after the festival.
ICYMI is an endeavor of Catalyst Press and Maverick Independent Book Reviews to collaborate with independent publishers.

At ICYMI: Second Chance Book Festival, we believe in the power of books, that change begins one page at a time.
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, new releases don’t find their audiences. And as trade publications generally focus on books released within six months of publication, the books that don’t make an immediate impact often fall through the cracks.
But books don't expire.
There’s always a second chance.
That’s the impetus behind ICYMI (https://www.secondchancebookfestival.com/) (In Case You Missed It), an online book festival aimed at promoting the rich backlists of independent publishers.
​
ICYMI is aimed at promoting and spotlighting books at least two years since original publication.
