Indie Author Fringe Giveaway Winners & Sponsor Discounts

Dust settling after Indie Author Fringe

Now that the dust has settled after a frenzied 24-hours of LBF Indie Author Fringe sessions, find out who won the Speaker Giveaways and the Opening Line Competition.

We also remind you about the Sponsor Discounts that can save you money, and ask you to take the time to submit your feedback about our Indie Author Fringe conference. Let us know what we did well, and what we could do better.

In our event we covered e-books, print books and audio books, and included author sessions and expertise about writing, book production and distribution. We also left you in no doubt about the importance of a good cover design!

Our first online conference of 2016 was everything we hoped it would be … and more.

Our speakers provided a plethora of invaluable self-publishing advice, and there was something for everyone, no matter where you are in your indie author journey. Speakers also offered giveaways and here's the winners that were picked at random by Rafflecopter:
