2025 Bookish Holidays Indie Authors Can Use

[January through March 2025 calendars below; for the April through June 2025 calendars see this post and for July through December 2025 see this one.]

As we close out 2024 and close in on 2025, many of us are spending at least some of the time between holiday parties and family gatherings planning to grow our book-related businesses, right?

Well, here’s a tool you can use to find “excuses” to celebrate alongside a book launch, create an email marketing “challenge,” hold an in-person event with a book club, or add a fun angle to just about any other marketing effort you can think of.

Because it IS the holiday season and we’re shutting down for the remainder of this year, I’m short on time and will be posting just the first quarter monthly calendars today. But I promise to update this post with the rest of 2025’s slate of literary holidays as my first assignment in January.

I’ve built these as PDFs, so you can download them, print them out, and mark them up as part of your planning, if you find that helpful.

Let us know how you plan to take advantage of these ready-made celebrations and invite us to join in the fun to support your work!
