Statement of Principles

We at Indie Vanguard Agency believe that:

Every author’s words are their own, and they should retain creative and financial control of their books.

Free speech and freedom of expression are important.

Our freedoms are also important. We are not obligated to work with authors whose works contravene laws on hate speech or go against our principles.

Further, we believe that:

  • Black lives matter.

  • Disabilities do not reduce or negate a person’s validity or value.

  • Trans rights are human rights.

  • All love based on respect and consent is good.

  • Voices of all ages deserve to be heard.

  • Freedom of belief is important, but does not extend to oppression of others.

  • Human rights apply to all, regardless of a person’s place of birth or the circumstances they find themselves in.

  • Caring for the environment is everyone’s responsibility.
