Hey there
Did you register for Indie Author Training's webinar this week yet? Join us as Dave Sheets takes us through how to leverage print to increase sales. This is especially timely following our last webinar with Kickstarter's Head of Publishing so come along with your questions.
Print matters. Learn how to leverage print to grow sales.
You’ve nailed the craft, cover, and copy—now make the book-as-object irresistible. Most authors default to basic POD and leave money, margin, and reader wow on the table. This punchy session shows you how smart printing and packaging can boost perceived value, cut unit costs, and unlock premium editions and new sales channels.
Walk away with a vendor outreach checklist, file‑prep cheat sheet, and a plan to turn your book into a product readers want to own—and pay more for.
11am CDT on Wednesday 8 April

You're used to us bringing you an hour's worth of valuable content to help you grow your indie author business every week. So what would you say to a whole day? Instead of one webinar on Wednesday 22nd April, how does a summit grab you? If you're nodding along like I am, come and join us at our AI summit and learn how to clone yourself so you can get back to the real business of being an author - getting the words done.
Day 1 is free and you can upgrade to attend day 2. You will leave the first day with working tools on your machine that address your pain points, not a pdf you may never open.
