Ready to take charge of your writing career? Whether you’re an experienced author, just getting started and learning the ropes, or even “self-publishing curious,” you need to be at the Indie UnConference Europe 2026. This is a unique opportunity to learn the ins and outs of professional self-publishing.

Why Indie UnConference?
This event differs from any publishing event you’ve ever been to. The agenda is shaped by you – and is designed to help authors take control of their publishing careers.

What You Can Expect:

Collaborative Learning: The UnCon is a chance to connect with other authors to discuss genre trends, book launches, marketing strategies, and the latest publishing technologies. Learn from others who have navigated the indie publishing landscape and gain insights from their experiences. Our motto is “Each one, teach one.”

Expert Insights: Get advice from industry leaders, the team from the BookWhisperer, and a score of best-selling authors in every genre!

Creative Inspiration: In the heart of Matera, where time-honored traditions meet contemporary creativity, ideas are not just shared but transformed. This extraordinary setting doesn’t merely serve as a backdrop for discussions; it enriches them, infusing your indie publishing ambitions with the unique synergy of ancient heritage and forward-thinking innovation.

Supportive Community: Indie UnConference is a warm, collaborative group. Here, indie authors help each other succeed. Whether you’re a bestseller or just starting out, you’ll find a supportive group ready to share and grow together.

Why This Event?
In a world where 35% of all new books are independently published, there has never been a better time to learn how to publish. If you’re an author who’s grown tired of waiting for agents and publishers and like to know what it takes to publish your own work, Indie UnConference is the perfect place to start.
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from top-selling authors like Roberta Kagan, Michael Reit, and Lisa Marie Rice. These authors have paved their own roads to publishing success, and you can too. Whether you want to gain independence or simply explore new possibilities, this conference will equip you with the knowledge and inspiration needed to succeed.
