Beyond English: The Global Growth Playbook for Indie Authors

There comes a certain point in every successful author’s career, where translations shift from being a luxury item to a strategic necessity.

In this 45-minute session, we’ll explore how to turn your backlist into a long-term international asset, unlock new income streams through Europe’s most powerful book markets, and avoid the most costly mistakes authors make when going global.

We’ll also explore how to market translated books effectively—through local platforms, advertising, audiobooks, and cultural adaptation—giving your books the best chance at success abroad.

This session is ideal for indie authors approaching their next growth ceiling, as well as those who want to expand beyond English-speaking markets with clarity, confidence, and a sustainable strategy.
