The first Self-Publishing Advice Indie Author Fringe Conference of 2019 is all set to run on Saturday, March 19 with a terrific line-up of online sessions.
Indie Author Fringe is a free online conference held three times a year for self-publishing authors, organised by the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi). The events are held just after the three main international publishing fairs — London Book Fair, Book Expo in the US and the Frankfurt Book Fair.
The Fringe runs sessions over 24 hours from 9am (GMT) on March 19 and it’s all free. You don’t have to watch everything live as you can catch up with the recordings.
The opening Indie Author Fringe of the year is being backed by gold sponsor print and ebook distributor Ingram Spark, silver sponsor ebook distributor PublishDrive, and sponsor Prescient, which aims to represent creators in emerging technologies such as blockchain and machine learning.
The conference always has a brilliant line-up of speakers and this is just a small selection of the 2019 sessions:
