If you’re not an author but provide a service to authors, see ‘Tell Us About Your Service‘.
What started as a Monday Midday Mini-fests and T&T Panels event is now available (almost) any time. Following on from the Spotlights (where we talk about your writing-related journey and are open to everyone in publishing: agents, editors, illustrators, marketeers, not just authors) ‘Tell Us About Your Books’ is a feature open to ANY author who has at least one book published.
Each session will feature one author talking about one of their books. If you’re an author with more than one book, it’s up to you which book you choose but it makes sense to choose a standalone or first in series then book other slots for subsequent books.
If you’ve participated in Selt-Pub Fest already…
1. If you’ve already done a spotlight: book a ‘chat’ slot (same link as our initial chat and spotlight) for a ‘Tell Us About Your Books’ slot, and I’ll add you to the schedule below. Let me know which book you’re going to talk about/read from and I’ll add that too!
2. If you’ve not done a spotlight ~ book a ‘chat’ slot (same link as our initial chat)
then email me (Morgen) to tell me you’ve done it then book another one for a ‘Tell Us About Your Books’ slot, and I’ll add you to the schedule below. Let me know which book you’re going to talk about/read from and I’ll add that too!
These can be done fairly swiftly (whenever there are ‘chat’ slots available), but will not have an audience. If you’d rather choose one of the regular slots (Monday Midday Mini-fests and T&T Panels) with the chance of an audience ~ though no guarantee ~ then let me know which slot you’d like.
If you’re new to Self-Pub Fest…
Welcome! ~ click on the Participate page for all the details but really all you need to do is email me, Morgen for the information pack. Return your completed form to me, along with a photo of yourself and your cover/s (as separate files within the same email) then I’ll create a page for you once we’ve had an initial chat via Zoom. We’ll then do a spotlight then I can book you in on this page.
