Information on Free Classes, and Books and Beverages Opportunities

Indie Author News

Hello from Indie Author News,


I hope your 2023 has been happy, healthy, and productive so far.


So, You Want to be an Independent Author


If your goal this year is to write or publish your book, or to understand how to approach book marketing so you can set yourself up for success, then you're in luck.


I'm offering four free 1-hour presentations with ample chance for Q&A at Harrogate library beginning Saturday, February 18 at 2pm. That's in one week!


They will be held downstairs in the Victoria Room. There will be limited space, so it's best you sign-up either with the library or on the eventbrite page to ensure your space.

The Harrogate Library Book Doctor

For anyone in Harrogate looking for advice on writing or publishing, you can come by the Harrogate Library from noon - 1:30 on Mondays when I'm there as The Book Doctor. I'm happy to chat about anything from how to start writing your book to setting up an author website.

Live Book Marketing Primer Course

Once the free classes at Harrogate Library end, I'll be opening the live online Book Marketing Primer course for sign-ups for a start date just after Easter. This is a bit later in the year than I was hoping to start, but it's been a very busy year so far!


The last time I ran the course, I received very positive feedback, but you can get a taste of my style from the free classes above.


Books and Beverages UK


One new project that has helped make it a busy year has been Books and Beverages UK which I've restarted with Sue Williams and Kate Swann. We're recording monthly interviews and panel discussions in Harrogate library so, if you're interested in being a guest, you can reply to this e-mail and we will see if we can fit you somewhere in our schedule (there's still lots of space for this year!).


If you're not able to make live events in Harrogate, we're also doing Zoom interviews and e-mail interviews, all of which are shared via our Wordpress.com website (if you're on Wordpress.com, be sure to follow us! Click the image to go to the website).

Our latest interview that's been posted was with Helen Brandom in January. February saw a discussion on writing romance featuring Diane Allen and Suzanne Marshall which will be available shortly.

Thank you so much for your support and attention and I wish you all the best.


Stay healthy, keep active, and Write On!
