ABOUT #SELFPUBCON

What is the Self-Publishing Advice Conference?

#SelfPubCon is an online conference for independent authors, that delivers the most up-to-date content, interviews, panels and presentations to empower authors be more successful in producing and selling great books and reaching more readers.

We bring you all the latest tips, techniques and tools that enable you to publish well, consistently increase your book sales (ebooks, paperbacks, hardbacks, audiobooks) and grow your author business.

No tricks or short-term gaming tools. Just reliable information that will enable you to build a successful and sustainable author business, over time.

All speakers are carefully vetted by the Alliance of Independent Authors, so this is information that you can truly trust.

How Does It Work?

As this is a digital conference, all our presentations are online. On conference day we release a new presentation every hour, on the hour for you to watch. That's 24 sessions over 24 hours, so that no matter where you are in the world you can enjoy the new content, competitions and live-tweeting.

But no, we don't expect you to stay up all night! The sessions remain freely available and open to all for 48 hours after conference close. That's three days in all.

When is it?

We run #SelfPubCon each year in October. See home page for our next conference dates.
