This was me, in London last week at the Self-Publishing Show. It’s the third time I’ve been, and as always, so good to meet up with other indie authors. Alas, there was no-one else there writing dementia-friendly books. If you can think of anyone that I haven’t mentioned in my round-up of other authors and publishers (or if you are an indie author yourself and would like to know more), please get in touch! My contact details are: info AT thebooknextdoor.com (with the AT symbol, of course).
Why The Book Next Door? Well, that’s my overall publishing name, while Unforgettable Notes is my pen-name for my memory-friendly books. I know it’s a slightly odd pen-name, but I started out creating visitor books, so it seemed perfect at the time!
Anyway, back to the conference, which was excellent – so much to learn. There was a lot about the impact of AI of course, a lot about author visibility, and some fascinating ideas about fans and superfans… people who actually recommend an author’s books to other people. If that’s you, and you’ve ever recommended an Unforgettable Notes book, I’d love to hear what made you do it!
The same thing applies if you’re another memory-friendly author’s superfan – please let them know. We do get reviews, of course, but they are really written for other would-be customers, not for the author. It’s always so good to hear when a book has made a small difference in someone’s life.
