Following the success of the Amazon Academy in London and Manchester, the next event in the series is taking place at Edinburgh on Tuesday 23rd May.
The Amazon Academy will provide free advice and practical support to help aspiring authors from across Scotland, covering everything from publishing your work with Kindle Direct Publishing, Amazon’s independent publishing programme, to how to market your work.

Aspiring and established authors will learn how to:
Write a bestseller with tips from authors on developing a plot, characterisation and the best way to approach dialogue
How to market your book with guidance from authors on how to use social media effectively, the importance of mailing lists and how to make the most of KDP Select
