MMF #14 – writing groups

During the first online all-day... actually, soon after it started… I 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 will all be moderated by Morgen so the participants have the opportunity to chat fully.

New to Self-Pub Fest? See the Participate page for details and/or email Morgen for the information pack.

On Monday 25th May 2026, the panel below, all members of New Street Authors, talked about writing groups (the recording is below)

  • Crime novelist AA Abbott
  • Children’s author John Moore
  • Science-fiction, fantasy, cosy mystery, thriller and comedy author (and NSA chair!) David Wake
  • Crime/women’s novelist, non-fiction/short story author, and Self-Pub Fest founder Morgen Bailey
  • Crime and thriller novelist, publisher and writing coach Ryan Stark

These are free events but we’re raising money for local book-related charities and we’d be really grateful if you would donate whatever you afford via the Charities & Donate page. Thank you so much.
