Indie Authors Can Sell More Books
Julia Boggio’s Marketing Masterclass at Edinburgh Women’s Fiction Festival
Writers struggling to get their books into readers’ hands will hear straight-talking advice from award-winning indie romance author Julia Boggio at this year’s Edinburgh Women’s Fiction Festival.
Her one-hour session, Lessons in Indie Marketing, takes place on Friday 26 September, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM, at Christ Church Morningside. Boggio will share practical, no-nonsense marketing strategies that writers can put into practice right away.
Speaking ahead of the event, Julia Boggio said:“So many authors dread the word ‘marketing’ because they think it means endless self-promotion. I want to show writers how to find readers in ways that feel authentic and achievable. Marketing doesn’t have to be complicated – it just has to work for you.”
Her advice will appeal to introverts and extroverts, technophobes and tech lovers, giving attendees a clearer sense of how to grow their readership and renewed energy for building a sustainable strategy.
Julia Boggio is a multi-award-winning self-published romance author. Her debut novel Shooters won the Selfie Award at London Book Fair (2024) and gold at the Wishing Shelf Awards. Camera Shy won the Shorter Romantic Novel prize at the RNA Awards (2025), while Chasing the Light and Exposure! were both shortlisted for Romcom of the Year.
She holds a degree in Marketing from Rutgers University, worked as an advertising copywriter, and later built one of London’s leading portrait photography studios. She now writes full-time from her home in Wimbledon.
The Edinburgh Women’s Fiction Festival returns on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 September 2025 at Christ Church Morningside, just five minutes from Bruntsfield Links. The festival celebrates writing for, by, and about women, giving readers the chance to connect with authors across romance, commercial, historical, literary, and book club fiction.
