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. If you would like to be involved, please go to the Participate page for details and/or email Morgen for the information pack.
