Save £20 on your place at our self-publishing conference

 

Publishing remains an ever-evolving industry, and self-publishing continues to be very much at the forefront of recent change. More platforms, more providers… writers are confronted by more choices than ever before when looking to make their work available on e-readers or bookshelves across the world.   To help make things clearer, we’ve brought together a fine list of speakers from all corners of the self-publishing industry for a full-day Self-Publishing in the Digital Age conference, held at The Wellcome Collection, London. The event will cover all aspects of becoming a self-published author, from editorial considerations through to discussions on cover design, where your book’s distributed, how it's marketed and also the price it should be sold at. With speakers ranging from bestselling authors to Amazon representatives and industry insiders, this essential event will give you everything you need to successfully self-publish your book.   To reserve your place at an exclusive discount price of just £75*, click here and enter SELFPUB20 on the checkout page. *Offer valid until midnight, 15th November.
