I am finding so much help and support from other writers, it's giving me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

I have had to get my head around so many things with self publishing and the learning never seems to stop. Some days it's invigorating and other days I feel I will explode with frustration. I have reluctantly embraced social media, even You Tube, for the cause.

So in that same spirit of sharing, I thought I should spread the love and offer the details of the upcoming online conference from the Alliance of Independent Authors. It is for established authors, as well as aspiring ones, as I was when I joined. I have never regretted joining and there is a wealth of information shared. Don't miss it.

SPACon is a two-times a year, online conference for self-publishing authors, brought to you by the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi), attached to the major global publishing fairs.

ALLi brings together the most up-to-date self-publishing education and information available and broadcasts it to authors everywhere.

Our next event is a Self-Publishing Advice Conference attached to the London Book Fair (held 10-12th April 2018). Our SPACon theme: Self-Publish for Pleasure and Profit. For 24 hours, beginning at 10am GMT on April 14th, the Alliance of Independent Authors is pleased to provide you with the industry's best about what you can and should be doing to have the most success in publishing and selling your books.

For anyone starting to write, I cannot speak highly enough of the writing community and I recommend joining a group of like-minded people, whether you join a class or a casual group. It's amazing how many stories can be generated from one little idea. So take a leap of faith, you won't regret it.
