2015 saw our inaugural Indie Writers’ Festival which was launched in partnership with Leeds Trinity University and aimed at all writers who were thinking of self publishing. A full day’s programme offered a series of workshops, talks and panels, as well as opportunities to meet and mingle with writers, book designers and publishers. There was a pop-up indie bookshop and competitions too.
The keynote speaker was Dee Blick, author of 4 best selling books including the number 1 bestseller, The Ultimate Guide to Writing and Marketing a Best Selling Book on a Shoestring Budget. We had Tricia Walker, Ann Victoria Roberts, Dan Ingram-Brown, Martyn Bedford, Ned Hoste, Paul Hardwick and Amina Alyal, all sharing their knowledge and expertise in a wonderful day of creativity and inspiration.
