THE SELF PUBLISHING SHOW LIVE

Welcome to the Self Publishing Show Live 2022! Sponsored by Amazon and attended by the biggest indie brands such as Reedsy and Draft2Digital (and plenty more), there’s no better place to learn the secrets behind indie author success. With special guests ranging from Joanna Penn (The Creative Penn) to Jasper Joffe (indie publisher) to Lucy Score (internationally bestselling romance novelist), we’ve packed the two-day schedule with the biggest and best names in the business. Plus, for those attending the event, every session will be recorded and edited by a professional film crew for you to re-watch – completely free – at a later date.

The lessons you take away from the conference might change your life. And that’s not just marketing hyperbole. Here’s a quote from Benedict Brown:

THE SELF PUBLISHING SHOW LIVE PARTY

The fun doesn’t stop when the conference finishes. Introducing the Self Publishing Party! Held on the first evening of the show, the Self Publishing Party is the perfect chance to unwind and network not just with your fellow indie authors, but also many of the special guests and members of the Self Publishing Formula team. Plus, receive a free welcome drink on arrival. Join us as we celebrate self-publishing in style!

CAN'T MAKE IT TO LONDON?

Shame! But don't worry. With all of the sessions being professionally recorded, you'll be able to kick back and enjoy them in their entirety from the comfort of your own home. Sessions will be available from mid-July but you can grab your digital ticket now.
