To mark 6 months until things kick off, we have a special announcment ✨

Our keynote is the first thing on the schedule and we plan it that way so nobody misses it. Because it'll be unforgettable.

This year, we’re kicking things off with an author who has built a massive global following, created some of the most talked-about mafia romances out there, and inspired a community of readers who can’t get enough of her powerful storytelling.

We are thrilled to announce that the keynote speaker for Ireland’s Publishing Show 2026 is…

💚 Sadie Kincaid! 💚

Sadie is the perfect start to what’s set to be an incredible, can’t-miss conference. From her journey to her community spirit, she’ll have you inspired before the first coffee break. ☕📚

March 2026. It begins with Sadie.
Who’s ready? 🙌

Reedsy is back and they’re bringing the party! 🥂🍀

We’re thrilled to announce that Reedsy has returned as a vendor for 2026 AND will be sponsoring a Drinks Reception on March 17th.

Think checking in, checking out the vendor event and then… a St. Paddy’s Day celebration to remember 💚

Networking never tasted so good! 🥳

BIG NEWS ✨

Ireland’s Publishing Show is rebranding, and evolving into something bigger. From the end of the month, you’ll see us start using the name Indie Network in some places, a new community and hub for indie authors.

The Indie Network will include:

✅ Ireland’s Publishing Show (March 2026)
✅ Our very first writing retreat (Write by the Quay)
✅ A growing online community 📚
✅ and much more.

For now, Ireland’s Publishing Show proudly continues as part of The Indie Network.

From April 2026, you’ll know the show as:
Indie Network: Ireland (IN Ireland formerly Ireland’s Publishing Show)

Same people. Same colours. Same passion. A much bigger vision. 💚

✨ The FINAL speaker reveal before our keynote! ✨

We’re closing out our 2026 lineup with four incredible voices:

💡 Stuart Grant – founder of Digital Authors Toolkit and our main sponsor, helping authors master websites.
📚 Diana Xarissa – cozy mystery author with countless beloved series and loyal readers worldwide.
📚 LJ Dix – talented author whose first published series is based on stories she told her children during long drives to visit family in an attempt to forestall the "are we there yet?" syndrome.
🚀 Kevin McLaughlin – prolific sci-fi author with deep expertise in writing, publishing, and long-term success.

And here’s something extra special: LJ Dix and Kevin are a mother-and-son duo which we adore, since Ireland’s Publishing Show is proudly run by a mother-and-daughter team 💚

Don’t forget: our keynote is announced September 17th… but before that, keep your eyes peeled on Monday for some exciting news! 👀
