ALLi Events: Join our Indie Author Fringe Festival

March 25, 2014

Part of ALLi's service is to make sure our members are informed and up to date on the latest issues in author-publishing, and well stocked on ways to engage with the indie author community.

Here are two great events we have coming up.

Mark Lefebvre of Kobo

How To Use Kobo Writing Life to Self-Publish and Sell ebooks.

Later today (Tues) Orna Ross is in live session with Mark Lefvebre, Director of Author Relations at Kobo books, about publishing and selling more books on the Kobo platform and all about the Kobo’s exciting initiatives for indie authors.

The event airs live, so if you want to join us, just turn up to www.YouTube.com/IndieAuthorALLi to attend.

Starts at 7pm GMT / 3pm EST /12pm PST

I hope Orna will ask Mark if Kobo plans to develop an author profile page for their site like Amazon has. It really makes a difference, especially with readers who want to know more about a certain author and her/his books, links, tweets, etc.

Yay! SO glad you’ve put this here today – I MAY be able to make the LBF, since my dentist has re-scheduled everything and no elective extractions on April 4th… Just have to work out a few other bits like the cash and the place to sleep…
