About this event

If you’re an author considering self-publishing your work, finding out how to go about it, what can realistically be achieved and what your options are can be a daunting prospect. So from the UK’s most widely-recommended self-publishing services providers comes The Self-Publishing Experience Day – From Manuscript to Market – a day of sessions held at our offices in person, hosted by staff from Troubador Publishing.

The day’s sessions look at all aspects of publishing a book, ebook or audiobook – from editing the manuscript to typesetting and cover design, marketing and distribution. If you’re considering self-publishing as an option for your own work and want to find out more, the Self-Publishing Experience Day is just right for you.

Our continuous goal is to demystify the self-publishing process, explain what your options are as a self-published author, look realistically at what you can expect from self-publishing and demonstrate the processes involved in putting a book and/or ebook together. There will be multiple in-person sessions throughout the day, designed to be an informal look at all aspects of the publishing, distribution and marketing processes. A final, detailed timetable will be provided to all delegates in advance of the day.

At the end of the Self-Publishing Experience Day, you will have a far better understanding of self-publishing in general as well as an appreciation of the freedom and excitement that it brings with it.

This Self-Publishing Experience Day is held in person at Troubador’s offices in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. We promise a whole day of enlightening and stimulating information in an informal setting.

The Self-Publishing Experience Day costs just £30 to attend. This includes a buffet lunch and refreshments throughout the day.
