There are a lot of courses, resources, and virtual summits out there for writers, but #SelfPubCon was one of the very first (premiering in 2013 as IndieReCon). It is still the premier self-publishing summit, backed by its association with the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi).
It's exceptional and always one step ahead. Plus, it's not just about what you have to do. It also cuts through everything you DON'T need to know or do. I’m really excited by the advice ALLi has compiled for this writing craft conference.

Hello [Name],
Have you had a chance to catch the sessions over at the Self-Publishing Advice Conference?
As of today, the 3-day free period ends and the conference will no longer be free to watch. But don’t worry, I have a special offer for you.
If you didn’t finish the sessions in time, if you’d like to go back and watch some of them again, if you'd like to have access not just to this 2023 conference, but previous conferences and forthcoming conferences also, then you need an All-Access Pass, which will give you access to the SelfPubCon Highlights Archive.
This library of writing and self-publishing education is packed with unmissable information from top industry names like Michael Anderle, Sacha Black, Mark Coker, Mark Dawson, Ricardo Fayat, Carla King, the late Joel Friedlander, Jane Friedman, Michael La Ronn, Mark Lefvebre, Joanna Penn, Orna Ross, Nick Stephenson and many, many more.
Over 100 sessions of the best indie author education available anywhere on the internet, all yours at half price. And the best bit? As a SelfPubCon associate, I can offer you a whopping 50% discount on an all-access pass.
You have two pass options:
- Six-month Pass: usually $199, yours today for just $99. It entitles you to the current conference AND all past conferences, for six months:[affiliate link to six month pass page]
- Lifetime Pass: usually $450, yours today for just $225. It entitles you to the current conference AND all past AND all future conferences, for life:[affiliate link to lifetime-pass page]
You can access either of these great offers right now with coupon code SPC2350
But hurry because this discount is only valid for a few days—the price will revert to the standard prices shortly.
It's a great offer and I hope you can make use of it.
