Held September 4–7, 2026, in Oklahoma City, OK, focusing on hybrid publishing pathways and craft improvement. Writer’s conferences, book festivals, and book fairs were once considered something self-published authors could only access as members of the public, not as authors. But things have changed, and now these events provide valuable opportunities for self-published authors to learn from industry experts, discover the latest marketing strategies, network with fellow authors, and connect directly with readers who love your work.
