Attendees of the 2014 Author Hub
Join us for the launch of Author Hub
BEA begins on Thursday 29th May and the first Author Hub at the trade show will launch upon its maiden voyage on that first morning. If you’re attending the fair, head over to the Hub at 10am, for ribbon-cutting and general excitement.
Orna Ross, CJ Lyons, Hugh Howey, Barbara Freethy, and a host of other writers will join publishing correspondent, Porter Anderson, in declaring the Hub officially open for author business.
A dedicated area for entrepreneurial authors, the Author Hub is where many ALLi members will be hanging out for the duration of BEA — and there will also be a comprehensive series of talks, seminars and workshops: do stop by and say Hi. We’ll be at Table 6.

Opening Up to Indie Authors: 1,000 signatures and rising
We’ve been delighted with the response so far to our Opening Up to Indie Authors (OUTIA) campaign, with honourable mentions and honest debate left, right and centre — and some hearts and minds already changed.
At the heart of the campaign, of course, is our guidebook, expertly written by Self Publishing Advice blog editor Debbie Young and indie author supremo, Dan Holloway. If you’ve read it and enjoyed it, a review on Amazon or Goodreads would be most welcome.
And our OUTIA petition reached 1,000 signatures this week. We hope to build upon over the rest of year (our aim is ten times that) so, if you haven’t already, please take the time to 1) add your voice and sign the petition and 2) pass the link to an author friend.
(Members, you can download your free copy of the guide — which has lots of information about how to get your book into libraries, books festivals and events, review outlets bookstores and everywhere good books are found. You’ll find the codes you need in the Member zone — Resources Page).
Drupal is one of these effective software packages that
helps people and businesses publish content on their websites.
They offer so many extras that make starting up a new website so simple that even a complete novice could get a website up and running.
Elements such as text, graphics, images, font sizes and colors
are used in designing and producing pages for a web
site.
