  1. Indie Author Lab Debuts as London Book Fair Opens Its Doors to Self-Publishers with Orna Ross and Joanna Penn

    Orna Ross and Joanna Penn reflect on a landmark year at London Book Fair, where the Alliance of Independent Authors made its biggest mark yet — debuting the Indie Author Lab, a full-day event dedicated to helping indie authors go deep on their own publishing practice, and unveiling the new ALLi Indie Author Bookstore. They discuss why 2026 felt like a genuine turning point for self-publishers at the fair, what indie authors need most in an age of abundance and AI, and why discernment and individualization may matter more now than any single piece of publishing advice.

  2. News Summary: Amazon Pulls Paris Book Festival Sponsorship; London Book Fair Tackles AI Rights

    London and Paris. The eponymous cities of the Dickens classic that haunted many a schoolday of mine. Paris, in the throes of a bloody revolution. London, checks Cliff Notes and memory alike and utterly fails to remember. Two and a quarter centuries later, and as book fairs loom in each of those great cities, we again have news from both.

  3. The Bookstore Indie Authors Deserve: ALLi Members’ Big New Shopfront, with Orna Ross and Melissa Addey

    What if discovering strong indie books were as simple—and as trustworthy—as walking into your favorite bookshop? In this episode, Alliance of Independent Authors director Orna Ross and campaigns lead Melissa Addey introduce ALLi’s new Big Indie Author Bookstore. They explain why it was launched now, how it differs from a standard indie author book list, and how it helps members gain greater visibility and credibility. The discussion also looks at how ALLi will work with readers, librarians, bloggers, and booksellers to connect the right readers with the right books.

  4. News Summary: The Selfies Book Awards Go Global for 2026

    Huge news to start the week. I have been reporting on the Selfies for a decade, and it is always one of my favorite tasks to highlight indie author success. The Selfies have expanded a little in that time and now have three categories: general fiction; children's (and young adult)…

  5. Last weekend at the @MSchwestern #VV2025 #LadiesCrimeFestival I had the absolute pleasure of seeing #OrnaRoss, founder of #Alli, the Alliance of Independent Authors, giving a brilliant talk on "The Joy of Selfpublishing". I LOVED every word of it, reminded me of why I publish my own books. Here's the recording: stream.litera.tools/w/sLs5LCCe

    I hope she & Alli will join the fediverse soon. @alli_BOT delivers the Alli articles to the fediverse.

  6. #ALLi are reviewing GlobeScribe, the new #AI-powered translation service, but they consider the big promises and low prices to be a red flag.

  8. I'm having an inspiring start to the year. It feels like picking up all the juggling balls and spinning plates that I dropped last year.

    But, I let so many things lapse in 2023 (like my membership to #BFS British Fantasy Soc and #ALLi Alliance of Independent Authors) that February is proving to be an expensive month, lol.

  9. Only 13 hours left to back Orna Ross' #Kickstarter campaign "Go Creative! Planning Program for Authors & Poets" It's about creative planning for authors and how to apply all three hats we're wearing throughout our work as indie authors – maker, manager, and Marketeer. #ALLi #indieauthor

  10. Indie authors - if you're denied entry to literary competitions and writing awards, grants and other opportunities, get in touch with the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi) who is campaigning around the world for more fairness for independent and hybrid authors.

  11. Authors, some interesting results from the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi) latest research project and the The Big Indie Author Data Drop including:

    75% of book sales were part of a series (fiction and non-fiction)

    Self-published authors earn more than authors who are traditionally published.

    Self-published female authors earn more than self-published male authors

    LGBTQIA+ self-published authors earn more than heterosexual self-published authors

    Successful self-published authors are not ‘agreeable'… and that's a good thing!

  12. Authors, do you spend more than 50% of your work time on writing and publishing activities? If you're an independent author who does, the Alliance of Independent Authors is running a survey so they will be able to compare traditionally published author earnings to indie author earnings. The survey is also designed to spot the factors that most affect author income, the learnings from which will help indie authors optimise earnings in the years ahead. Please share.
