Our Sponsors
IndieReCon is delighted to also announce our first sponsors: IngramSpark and Bublish. IngramSpark is IndieReCon’s gold sponsor, one of the few leading publishing platforms delivering fully integrated print and digital distribution services to the book industry through a single source. IngramSpark consistently ranks highly in ALLi’s watchdog reports and Choosing a Self-Publishing Service guidebook, particularly as a POD option.
Bublish, a unique book marketing company run by the very able Kathy Meis, joins us as silver sponsor. Bublish provides cloud-based tools, metrics and resources to equip tech-savvy authors when it comes to their social marketing and digital publishing. It’s a platform where you can promote your work and build your author brand – well worth checking out whatever level you are at.
We’re still accepting session sponsorships, allowing self-publishing services exposure across selected sessions in IndieReCon. The confirmations are coming in, so if you’d like to reach an unparalled audience of indie authors (25,000 and counting), we’d love to hear from you. Get yourself over to the sponsors section of the IndieReCon site for more information.
The Indie Author Fringe Festival
As part of IndieRecon this year, there’s also our London Book Fair Indie Author Fringe Festival. Live from Foyles Bookshop in London, and part of LBF’s Book and Screen Week we’ll also be live-streaming the whole day, so if you cannot make the train or plane to London, you can still join in on the fun.
