Self-Publishing and Women's Fiction, Hot Topics in International Writer's Conference in Italy

As my friends in Rome know, I left town on September 24 to attend a very special writer's conference held in the South of Italy, in beautiful Matera - now just nominated European Culture Capital for 2019. 

Self-publishing was amply discussed and we had several self-published stars, including Bella André and Tina Folsom, major editors from big US and Italian publishing houses, publishing gurus like Jane Friedman and David Gaughran, and literary agents from the US, UK and Italy. Here's the article I wrote about it for Publishing Perspectives, just published today:
