Are you a writer in the South East considering or exploring self-publishing? This April, New Writing South's Self Publishing Industry Day brings together some of the most influential and knowledgeable organisations and individuals in the business for an afternoon of panel discussions, talks and networking.
Connecting you with the people at the heart of the industry, we’re thrilled to be welcoming Orna Ross, co-founder and director of the Alliance of Independent Authors to open the afternoon, and to welcome members of the team from top self-publishing platforms Kindle Direct Publishing, IngramSpark and Bookvault who will offer their expertise and talk through the full process from idea to publication.
We’ll also be joined by established self-published authors including Suzy K Quinn, D E White and Anna Hayward (and more tba!) who will talk through their experiences, as we explore marketing, promotion and mindset - the skills and determination you need to get your books out into the world.
This year’s event will be a more intimate industry day, with opportunities to talk with industry experts and writers alike. Tickets are therefore limited so early booking is recommended.
Date: Saturday 18 April 2026, 12.30pm for a 1pm start. Finish 5.00pm
Location: The Old Courtroom, 118 Church St, Brighton, BN1 1UD
Cost: £45 (bursary places available for those who need them)
