Self-Published Titles Surge as Traditional Publishing Declines; AI Artwork Sells for Over $1 Million: Self-Publishing News with Dan Holloway
Like many other commentators on such things, I often criticize publishing figures who proudly claim they provide a full picture of the state of the industry while not including statistics for self-published titles. So, of course, I welcome the publication of figures that double down on self-published titles.

WOW! Brilliant – I have only just started to catch up now as I couldn’t do the live sessions this time. Thank you all. Marie-Claire
Our pleasure, Marie-Claire!
A big Thankyou to you and ALLi for creating this free online conference. I’m in Australia and the time difference made it difficult to follow it live. But I intend to listen, learn and absorb as you say Orna over this coming week.

Hi Pj, we ran it for 24 hours, so the whole world got some live time! But of course it’s impossible to take it all in at once. I’m so pleased it was useful to you.
Many thanks for this conference. So much condensed in one place with industry pioneers. Looking forward to the next, and spreading the word here in the US.
Particularly fond on the cover design spot with Derek Murphy, and the blogging your book spot with Nina Amir. And Mark Coker, Joanna Penn and Jane Friedman never disappoint.
Cheers from North Carolina.
Thanks so much Sheila, see you next time!
