SPS LIVE IN THE USA
YEAR ONE
BE THERE AT
THE START
For eight years SPS Live has brought indie authors together in London to learn from the best in the business and, just as importantly, from each other. In 2027 we're bringing it across the Atlantic for the first time.
The first year will be small: 200 seats, no more. For this 'founders year' we want it intimate and special. You'll be able to say they were there when it started. Every year that follows will be built on this one.
FOUNDERS' TICKETS: A SPECIAL PRICE FOR THE FIRST 100 TICKETS SOLD.
WAITLIST MEMBERS GET FIRST CALL.

WHAT ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT THE SELF PUBLISHING SHOW LIVE LONDON
"ONE CONVERSATION PAID FOR MY TICKET TEN TIMES OVER."
"Thank you James & Catherine, it’s been one of the most creative weeks of my life."
"Fantastic — I’ve learned so much. It’s been such a great experience."
"I learned so much from other authors and met some truly inspirational people."
FRIDAY 30TH APRIL
WORKSHOPS
A choice of hands-on workshops. Smaller rooms, more depth, pick the sessions that match where your author business is right now.
THURSDAY 29TH APRIL
PLENARY DAY
A single track. Keynotes and sessions on stage, the whole conference together, so nobody misses the big ideas.
Expert sessions.
Actionable strategies.
Meaningful connections.
Day one is everyone in one room. Day two you choose your own path.
TWO DAYS, TWO DIFFERENT GEARS.
THE PROGRAMME
THURSDAY 29TH APRIL
EVENING RECEPTION (optional): Drinks and conversation with speakers and fellow authors. The bit of a conference where the real deals and friendships get made.
THE VENUE
FORT WORTH BOTANIC GARDENS
We could have picked a hotel ballroom. We picked 120 acres of gardens in one of the friendliest cities in Texas instead. Sessions inside, sunshine and space outside, and a setting that makes the two days feel like a proper trip rather than a work event.
Fort Worth is easy to reach through DFW, one of the biggest airports in the world, and there's a full range of hotels nearby, from cheap and cheerful to five star. Stay where suits your budget.
