The conference brings authors together with experts to learn, network and be inspired.
The Self-Publishing Conference is the UK’s premier event dedicated to independent authors. As the longest-running conference of its kind, it provides a unique opportunity for writers to explore a wide range of publishing options, gain insights from industry experts, and engage directly with professionals shaping the self-publishing landscape. Attendees can also connect with fellow authors, many of whom are seasoned self-publishers, making it an invaluable day for learning, networking, and advancing their publishing journey.
The informal event aims to educate, inform and inspire authors who are self-publishing their work, or who are considering it as a route to publication. The day attracts a wide variety of authors, from fiction to children’s, non-fiction to business, and is structured so that delegates can choose the sessions that are the most relevant to them.
As well as the sessions throughout the day, authors will have plenty of opportunities to network, ask questions of experts and connect with fellow authors for a day full of knowledge gathering.
Tickets get you access to a wide range of expert-led sessions and workshops, keynote speakers, networking opportunities, a 5-star lunch, refreshments throughout the day and a drinks reception in the evening.
Sessions run by experts - Our experts come from various areas of the self-publishing world. From editors to authors, designers to metadata professionals, the experts we gather, combined with the team from Troubador Publishing, offer authors a wide range of insights.
Networking with like-minded authors - Authors that attend can expect to be part of a group of enthusiastic, interesting and motivated authors across all genres. There will be multiple breaks throughout the day where you can spend time chatting with other authors about their publishing journey.
Great food and freebies - Learning from experts in the sessions and getting to know other authors is surprisingly hard work. So, we always line up a delicious hot lunch alongside snacks and coffee throughout the day. Plus, each author will take away a bag full of freebies.
