Indie Author

Indie Author is a movie for the dreamers of the world. They say that if you do what you love for a living, you'll never work a day in your life. For most authors, writing is their passion, but the odds have always been stacked against them. Enter the underdogs, the people who didn't let anything stand between them and the impossible. They are the daydreamers, the romantics, and the storytellers who found what it takes to earn a full-time living from their craft and have built a community to help each other and defy the odds. Through their stories, you might find answers to launch your own writing career. At a minimum, you'll be entertained, inspired, and well-armed with the hard truths and inside facts if you choose the adventure of a writer's life.

Directed by Adam Grandy, Indie Author leans on a strong ensemble — Robin Sullivan, Michael J. Sullivan, Lydia Sherrer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2026.
