‘April is the cruellest month’ said T.S. Eliot. Not if you’re an indie author, we say. Because April is IndieReCon and London Book Fair Time.
IndieReCon is now five days away, kicking off next Wednesday April 15th at 7:30 (EDT) and culminating in our first ever live-streamed event in association with London Book Fair: The Alliance of Independent Authors Indie Author Fringe Fest.
It’s our way of making London Book Fair relevant to indie authors and bringing it to you, wherever you are. (And our thanks to LBF for hosting the first ever Indie Fringe at Foyle's)
Now: We need you to spread the word to as many authors as possible.
We've lots of tools below to make it easy for you to share.
As you know, there are so many great reasons to join us – we’ve put together just ten for starters in a handy article (see box below) that you can use to blog and pass on to writer pals.

Can’t Make London?
Of course not! We know most of you can't. Never fear: we’re bringing the advice, education and information to you.
IndieReCon will take over this advice blog for all of next week and on the IndieReCon website, we’ll be live-streaming many of the events — so you, and your author friends, can tune in, wherever you are.
Here is our most up-to-date schedule at time of posting, with links to our amazing line-up of speakers and info on our sponsors, who help us keep this event free for authors.
