INDIE-AUTHOR-FRINGEWhat’s this all about?

If you are an indie author, read on and get excited.

The focus of Indie Author Fringe is to empower indie authors to make informed decisions about the myriad of self-publishing paths available to them.

Each author’s self-publishing journey is unique and individual but there are also seven clearly defined steps to success that are shared by all.

069e47cc1ed73ef7d7914605c6853b6aOur Indie Author Fringe events will take authors through this multi-stage journey, from inspiration through publication, all the way to licensing publishing rights overseas and in other formats like film and TV.

Whether you’re a newcomer to self-publishing, or are already selling thousands of box-sets through multiple retailers, you will learn and benefit.

Each event will be a 24-hour continual stream of invaluable information, scheduled to include you in the action of three of the major international Book Fair events — from the comfort of your home.

We’ll have cover and first-line competitions, interviews, panel sessions, presentations and debates and a resource pack to take away. Best of all, thanks to the unwavering support of ALLi’s generous sponsors, all our Indie Author Fringe events are FREE TO ATTEND.

This year the event will spread across three days:

April 15               May 14               October 22
