What's on
Find out how to get your novel or poetry collection onto bookshop shelves despite an increasingly competitive publishing industry. We’re bringing together a team of local indie publishers, self-publishing services and self-published authors for two back-to-back power-hour panels, with ample time for networking in-between.
Kicking off the day, our team of self-publishing services tells us how the process works while our local self-published author gives their honest perspective about what you can expect on your own self-publishing journey. Next up, our panel of indie publishers share what they’re looking for, how to approach them and the support a smaller press can offer.
Confirmed speakers include Bad Betty Press, Comma Press, Troubador and Global Wordsmiths. Book your tickets today for a realistic, practical and informative deep-dive into the ways you can get published in 2026, straight from the experts themselves!
