We’re very excited to announce that The Hot Sheet has been engaged to develop the programming for the first-ever Digital Book World author-facing conference, DBW Indie Author. More details will become available very soon; for now, save the date of Jan. 19, 2017 on your calendar.
The day-long conference at New York’s Manhattan Hilton will feature a special mix of speakers and topics designed to address how indie publishing is coming into its own. Our goal will be to put the latest ideas, tools, and connections into your hands. We hope you’ll consider joining us.
Here’s the overall announcement for DBW 2017. Hope to see you at DBW Indie Author, but even if you can’t make it, you can expect to read, as always, our coverage of important takeaways.
