Loudmouth Books is an independently owned and operated bookstore and community space! We host author events, children’s story hour, and more, all free and open to the public. Loudmouth is dedicated to channeling our energy and resources right back into community programming focused on increasing access to diverse literature for all Hoosiers.

We are a Black, queer, woman-owned Indianapolis-based independent bookstore dedicated to highlighting banned books and uplifting the work of marginalized authors. Loudmouth was founded by bestselling author and Indianapolis native, Leah Johnson in 2023 in response to ongoing book banning attacks that target BIPOC and queer books and authors. At Loudmouth, we’ll always loudly and proudly proclaim our passion for stories by, for, and about marginalized people.
