Are you an aspiring publisher interested in working for an independent press or journal in Ireland? Are you an author who would like to publish their next project independently, and are curious as to how it differs from the more traditional format?

Join us at our event ‘Demystifying Independent Publishing’ at the Irish Writers Centre, and gain invaluable insights from independent publishers and authors publishing high-quality literature in Ireland today.

This event is designed for budding authors and publishers who are interested in learning more about the indie publishing landscape, and the opportunities that exist within it to produce exceptional literature.
