In this Alliance of Independent Authors panel\, chaired by director Orna Ross\, three leading voices explore what it means to be an “authorpreneur” today — combining writing craft\, publishing business\, and growth strategies. From personal experience to sector-wide insights and fresh data from ALLi’s new Indie Author Income Survey\, this session reveals how authors are making a living (and in some cases a killing) from their books\, by taking charge of their publishing futures.
