Once again this year, I participated in the Indie Author Fringe Fair, hosted by the Alliance of Independent Authors, on Friday, April 15.
My workshop (a recorded video) focuses on 7 things authors should know about the future of publishing.
The Indie Author Fringe Fair is held in tandem with the London Book Fair, and is part of London Book & Screen Week. Many other successful authors and self-publishing experts also shared their knowledge and expertise, for free.

Jane Friedman has spent her entire career working in the publishing industry, with a focus on business reporting and author education. Established in 2015, her newsletter The Bottom Line provides nuanced market intelligence to thousands of authors and industry professionals; in 2023, she was named Publishing Commentator of the Year by Digital Book World.

Her book, The Business of Being a Writer, Second Edition (The University of Chicago Press), is used as a classroom text by many writing and publishing degree programs. She reaches thousands through speaking engagements and workshops at diverse venues worldwide, including NYU’s Advanced Publishing Institute, Frankfurt Book Fair, and numerous MFA programs.
