At last, the 2021 Self-Publishing Advice Conference is almost upon us. Come 10 am UK time tomorrow, Orna Ross will launch the Writing Craft Conference and the first session will go live. Then, on the hour every hour for the following twenty-four hours, you'll get a new session jam-packed full of the latest and best industry advice. I'd like to take a moment to thank all the speakers for giving up their time and creating such fantastic sessions, and to our fantastic sponsors, without whom the conference wouldn't be possible. We're very excited to share them all with you.
