Welcome to the Indie Author Collective—a vibrant community where independent voices unite in the spirit of storytelling. Founded by Mehdi & Jacki Fakhrahmad, also known as Isaac Lotharus & Kisa Rayen, this collective gathers indie authors from across the world to participate in bi-annual anthologies, each a celebration of creativity, passion, and the boundless power of independent publishing.

Every anthology is hosted by this dynamic husband-and-wife duo and published under GloomLyte Publishing, a small but mighty independent press dedicated to uplifting diverse voices and cultivating fresh narratives. Whether seasoned or emerging, the authors within this collective bring forth imaginative tales that transcend borders and genres, forging a space where creativity thrives.

Here, storytellers don’t just write—they innovate, collaborate, and redefine what it means to be an indie author. If you believe in the magic of words and the strength of community, you’ve found your home.
