Join thousands of independent authors from around the world for the 2026 Self-Publishing Advice Conference (SelfPubCon26), taking place online on 17th–18th October 2026, followed by an exclusive Indie Author Lab workshop for ALLi members and conference access-pass holders on 19th October.

This year’s theme, The Future of Self-Publishing: What’s Working Now & What’s Next, gathers industry experts together to explore the ideas, technology and publishing strategies that are shaping indie publishing. Whether you’re preparing to publish your first book or looking to grow your author publishing business, SelfPubCon26 is designed to help you make informed decisions about your publishing future.

After the conference, on 19th October, ALLi members and conference access-pass holders are invited to join an exclusive Indie Author Lab workshop with ALLi Director, Orna Ross. This interactive session will help you turn the ideas and inspiration from the conference into a clear action plan for your publishing business.

We’re delighted to welcome back Amazon KDP and IngramSpark as our headline sponsors for SelfPubCon26, helping us deliver another outstanding programme for the indie author community, and Gatekeeper Press as our returning silver sponsors.
