Writing East Midlands hosts Alternative Routes to Publishing, an eye-opening panel event designed to challenge the myths around self-publishing and show the alternative ways to publish a book. Troubador Publishing will be taking part in a panel aiming to demystify the process, debunk outdated assumptions, and firmly push back against the notion that self-published authors can’t go on to secure traditional book deals. Whether you’re an aspiring writer or already navigating the industry, you’ll gain practical insight into the evolving publishing landscape, followed by an interactive Q&A where you can put your questions directly to the experts.
Held at Waterstones Nottingham on the 20th June 2026, this is fantastic event for any aspiring self-publisher.
