Welcome to London Book Fair Indie Author Fringe: Jay Artale, David Penny, Orna Ross

How do indie creators reach global audiences while staying true to their values? In this second conversation, Anna Featherstone continues her chat with Vee Hendro and Hayley Gordon about distribution, community, and marketing in the world of literary-inspired role-playing games. From Kickstarter to conventions and creative commons licensing, they share smart strategies for connecting stories with players worldwide.

We start the week with a round-up of stories I originally had slated for Saturday before sadder events overtook us. First up, two of my favourite topics wrapped into one neat story package: print and European law.

My ALLi author guest this episode is Jonathan Posner, an indie author who writes historical action-adventure set in the Tudor period. After years of self-publishing, he used what he learned to build his own imprint, which has grown into a publishing company that guides new authors through the indie process. His goal is to give writers the support he wished he had when he started.
