Indie Author Fringe Agenda Unveiled

One Week until Indie Author Fringe

We're only 1 week away from our next Indie Author Fringe conference and we've published the final group of speaker bios and session topics who will be delivering 24-hours of self-publishing advice to indie authors just like you.

Our free online event starts at 10am (Frankfurt time) on Saturday October 14th.

Today we've also unveiled our Indie Author Fringe event agenda, which shows the speakers, topics and running order of each session. The times shown on the agenda are when the sessions will be available to view on this self-publishing advice blog.

Don’t worry, we don’t expect you to stay up all night. The sessions will continue to be available right here on our blog after the event, so you can catch up when you can.

How do I attend Indie Author Fringe?

Book Cover Competition

Our Back Cover book competition is being sponsored by Nuance who are the people behind Dragon Professional software.

Our competition has two categories: fiction and non-fiction. You have the options of submitting just your back cover or the full wrap-around cover. So if you haven't already entered the back cover of your print book into our competition – don't delay.

If you're not familiar with Dragon Professional it's speech recognition software that can dramatically increase your daily word count output. Plus, if like me and many other authors, you suffer from RSI (repetitive strain injury) – having your own Dragon is beneficial to your health.

Spread the Word

Want to help us spread the word about our online conference?

You can visit our Spread the Word page to find out how you can use your social media, blog, and mailing lists to help us get the word to other indie authors that are yet to discover this free event.

Thanks in advance for helping us get the word out to a wider audience. There are writers out there who are looking for that nudge of inspiration to become a self-published author – let's work together to make sure they achieve their indie author goals by exposing them to valuable and reputable advice from our Speakers.

Only one more week to wait!
