During the first online all-day... actually, soon after it started… I (Morgen) thought what a shame it would be if it only ran once every six months so it’s going to be a regular thing.
Most Mondays up to six self-published authors and/or self-publishing experts discuss a variety of topics ~ see the main Monday Mini-fest for the details. These are moderated by me, Morgen, so the participants have the opportunity to chat fully.
New to Self-Pub Fest? The Participate page for details and/or email Morgen for the information pack.
