The Alliance of Independent Authors is the one club all self-published writers need to consider joining. 

Why Join Alli

Because you’re worth it. Crass to use that cunningly manipulative ad copy, I know, but joining ALLi has nothing to do with vanity and everything to do with damned good common sense. You’ll also be pleased to know self-absorption is not a requirement for membership. In fact, leaving your ego at the door and joining fellow writers on an equal footing is what the organisation is all about.

As a non-profit association created by self-published authors to promote ethics and excellence in the world of indie publishing, they offer advice and advocacy for self-published authors and poets across the world. 

Do you want to publish great books, reach more readers, or even want help with licensing your publishing rights? Then ALLi can help you with all of that, and access is gained by becoming a member.

So whether KDP has closed down your account on a whim, you need help locating a good book cover designer or editor, or just want to know what the latest news is in the world of self-publishing, then ALLi is the team you want to join.
