![]() Nobody was really interested in a “traditional” LitFest with lots of talking heads but, rather, we were hoping for something more grassroots, performance-based, and aiming to encourage reading and writing across our local communities. A few of us had been thinking about such a festival for a while. But that was before we launched the town's first Literary Festival too. It's hard for me to believe now that, just twelve months ago, we had no active writers' group in Wrexham, North Wales. Over to Dave, whose fifth self-published historical novel, The Song-Sayer's Lament, is due to launch on 1st May… In our occasional series of case studies, indie author David Ebsworth, based in Wales, shares his experience bringing together both self-published and trade-published authors via public events and a new writers group. How authors publish their books becomes less relevant when the authors themselves take the initiative in setting up events and writing groups, rather than leaving it to the book trade to call the shots. ![]() Indie author and historical novelist David Ebsworth ![]()
