Self Publishing Show Live, the biggest independent author conference this side of the Atlantic, sponsored by Amazon KDP, returns to London’s South Bank on 25th – 26th June 2025. If you’re an independent author, this is your chance to join 900 others, as some of the biggest names in self-publishing share the secrets behind their success.

Hosted by James Blatch, guests include science fiction and adventure author Craig Martelle, E L James (Fifty Shades of Grey), and many, many others. Full details of the guest list here

On the first day attendees can expect the event’s usual conference format, with sessions including building an online presence, improving your marketing and connecting with readers more effectively.

And on the second day, expect an exclusive and intimate workshop where the SPSL team take a deep, hands-on dive into specialist topics, including how to improve your email marketing, understand analytics and harness the power of artificial intelligence. (Tickets for this workshop are extremely limited, so secure your spot as soon as possible).

You can learn more about the speakers and sessions on offer, as well as buy your tickets for the hottest indie event this summer, by clicking here. But don’t wait too long – tickets are selling out fast, especially for the workshop.

If you’re still unsure if this might be an event for you, then catch up on last year’s show with the digital edition of the 2024 conference. Not only do you get access to all of the professional filmed sessions and bonus digital content, but you unlock the videos from every past conference too.
