Audio Interview: Using Indie Platforms to Publish First Nations’ Stories with Anna Featherstone and Anna Borzi AM
ALLi nonfiction adviser Anna Featherstone speaks with Anna Borzi AM, chair of the First Nations Writers Festival and its publishing imprint, First Nations Publishers. They discuss how the volunteer-led charity has grown from a literary festival into a global publishing and distribution platform for Pacific writers, often where no other option exists. The conversation covers publishing in an authentic voice, professional production on a lean model, print-on-demand and direct sales, and a strategic move away from costly festivals toward sustainable social media marketing.
News Summary: The Selfies Book Awards Go Global for 2026
Huge news to start the week. I have been reporting on the Selfies for a decade, and it is always one of my favorite tasks to highlight indie author success. The Selfies have expanded a little in that time and now have three categories: general fiction; children's (and young adult) fiction; and memoir.
Inspirational Indie Author Interview: Jacqx Melilli Preserves Australian Showbiz History Through Fiction and Memoir
My ALLi author guest this episode is Jacqx Melilli. She is an Australian author, playwright, and writing coach. Her work grows out of a long connection to performance and storytelling. Her novel, When the Glitter Fades, explores Australian entertainment history through fiction. That same interest led her to create memoir-writing workshops.
Thanks for the great intro!
