Indie ReCon – Three Days of Peace and Literature

Indie ReCon runs April 15th through the 17th in conjunction with the London Book Fair and London Book and Screen Week. The event is free for authors and readers to attend online. All you have to do is register to gain access. It's presented by Alli, the Alliance of Independent Authors and geared to educate today's indie authors on the ever changing landscape of the global marketplace for literature. You'll get the latest from some of the most successful independent self-published authors on how to format, price and distribute your works for optimum earnings.

The event begins at 8:00 AM EDT with a welcome and keynote speech form the founders of Indie ReCon, S.R. Johannes and Ali Cross. Then at 8:30 it goes straight into a discussion of useful information for self-publishing authors from Mark Coker, creator of Smashwords and Alli director, Orna Ross. That's just the beginning.

In the course of these three days, you'll learn about the communities and tools open to self published authors. You'll get proven strategies on building your marketing and publicity. You'll also hear from a couple of NY Times bestselling authors and have a shot at winning some cool prizes. All this from anywhere the Internet connects.

Then on Friday the 17th Alli brings you the first ever Indie Author Fringe Festival live from the London Book Fair. It's a day of author networking and info sharing on how to get your books to readers. You'll get one-to-one advise on self publishing and Alli members will have their books showcased. This is just one example of how the alliance promotes its members books to an international audience. I'm hoping to showcase my series during next year's event.

To learn more about the Alliance of Independent Authors, or to join just click on the Alli icon to the right. There are always seasoned indie authors available to answer your questions and help you make the best marketing decisions.

As a hopeful in this field, I'm excited about Indie ReCon. If you've read any of my posts you know this blog is essentially a report on what I've learned in the course of self publishing. It's looking good for Eusta Diddoo – Runaway Pony to launch the pilot episode by the June 10th date set. As such I'm soaking up all the information I can find for making it a success. I know what I'll be doing for the latter part of the week. Join me and see what you can gain.

Thanks for stopping in
