A Beacon for Indie Authors
“Books are more than just stories—they’re a way to explore the world and build friendships, one page at a time.
This month, I’m thrilled to introduce Heather, the heart and soul behind @heathers.lit.voyage. Heather is a mom of three amazing kids and a passionate book lover who has transformed her love for reading into a vibrant and welcoming bookstagram community. Hailing from the northern suburbs of Chicagoland, Heather brings a touch of Midwest charm to her bookish adventures.
For Heather, reading has always been an escape, an adventure, and her favorite way to connect with others. Whether she’s diving into a swoony romance, unraveling a thrilling fantasy, or celebrating indie authors, books bring immense joy to her life. To Heather, they’re more than just stories—they’re a way to explore the world and build friendships, one page at a time.
Heather’s journey into bookstagram has been a wonderful adventure. She loves sharing her passion for books and connecting with fellow readers. Her presence on bookstagram is marked by her genuine love for literature and her eagerness to support indie authors. Whether she’s sharing book recommendations (which I can attest are always on point), discussing her latest reads, or simply connecting with other book lovers, Heather is all about support and encouragement.
Supporting indie authors is Heather's passion, which is also evident on her other shared profile, @indielitlovers. Their mission is to uplift indie authors, build genuine connections, and make new friends along the way. Whether it’s through buddy reads or exploring diverse voices, Heather believes every story deserves to be heard.
Heather is your go-to for all things indie, slow-burn romance, and that sweet found-family magic. When she's not diving headfirst into enemies-to-lovers tension, you’ll find Heather talking books, friendships, and the joy of connecting through stories.
