Dear Readers,

We’re a couple days away from the first #AuthorIndieSpeak Chat this Thursday, at 7pm EST!

The #AuthorIndieSpeak Chat is a monthly invitation to all indie authors who are interested in discussing the self-publishing industry and building meaningful relationships in their field. Indie publishing experts (editors, proofreaders, cover designers, marketers, etc.) are also welcome to join us to share valuable advice and insights.

After the chats, I will feature my favorite tweets in a roundup post on Waking Writer.

Day: July 28, 2022 (last Thursday of the month)

Time: 4 pm PDT / 6 pm CDT / 7 pm EDT

Duration: 60 minutes

Hosts: Cendrine Marrouat and Berneta L. Haynes

How to participate: Include the #AuthorIndieSpeak hashtag in your tweets so we can see you and interact with you. That’s it!

Important rules:

• The #AuthorIndieSpeak Chat is not a self-promotional chat. Participants will only be allowed to promote themselves at the end of each session.
• While the #AuthorIndieSpeak Chat is meant as a casual event, remember that anything you tweet will be public. Remain professional at all times.
• The #AuthorIndieSpeak Chat is inclusive. No matter who you are, you are welcome to join us.
• We want this to be a safe space for everyone. As such, we have a zero-tolerance policy for spammers, bullies, conspiracy theorists, and trolls. Offenders will be warned once, after which we will hit the block and report buttons.

If you want to be kept in the loop, add your Twitter link or username in the comment section below, so I can notify you directly. Alternatively, you can follow on Twitter here or here to stay up-to-date.

Hope to see you there!

Warmest Regards,

Berneta L. Haynes
