About Introduction to Self-Publishing

Did you know most authors under 40 would prefer to be self-published? Don't know much about self-publishing but would like to consider it as an option for your book? This session will introduce you to what is possible in self-publishing today and get you inspired to take your first steps. Fulltime self-published author Melissa Addey will guide you through the exciting world of self-publishing (and its challenges!) so that you can leave better informed about your publishing options.

This free session will be run as a hybrid workshop and webinar: come along to the British Library if you like your workshops held in person, or join us online if you prefer. We will even provide a recording afterwards, so if you can't make this date you can still catch up later!

Tickets are free but space in person is limited so book you place in advance.
