Stories Unfold: The Indie Publishing Night • Hosted by Storyhouse Works (TTS7E10)

Ever had the thought: “I should write a book someday…” But then wondered… 👉 Where do I even start? 👉 How does publishing actually work? 👉 And how do real authors get their books into the world? In this conversation, I sit down with Hannah Huber, founder of Storyhouse Works, to talk about Stories Unfold — Indie Publishing Night, an inspiring event for writers, authors, and storytellers happening in Amsterdam on March 20. We talk about the journey from book idea → book in hand, the realities of self-publishing, how authors actually design, print, distribute, and promote their books, and why community might be the most important ingredient for writers. If you’re a writer, aspiring author, creative thinker, or someone who simply loves books — this event is designed to connect you with the people who’ve actually done it. Panels. Live music. Book signings. Real stories from real authors. ⸻ ✍️ Join the Event 📚 Stories Unfold — Indie Publishing Night 📍 Amsterdam Public Library (OBA) 📅 March 20 🎟 Tickets start at €25 👉 Reserve your seat here: https://storyhouseworks.com/stories-unfold-2026 If you’re thinking about writing a book — or already working on one — this is a great night to meet other writers, learn from experienced authors, and get inspired. ⸻ ⏱ Episode Timestamps ☕ 0:00 — The café conversation where books begin 📚 1:05 — What Stories Unfold is all about 🎶 2:00 — Live music, panels, book signings, and networking ✍️ 3:05 — Who the event is for (writers, authors, storytellers) 📖 4:00 — Why personal essays can be a powerful way to start writing 🚀 5:00 — The real journey of self-publishing a book 🎨 7:00 — Designing a beautiful book 📦 9:00 — Fiction, nonfiction, and different publishing paths 🌍 11:10 — From café conversation → published book 🤝 12:50 — Why community matters for writers 📢 13:45 — The hardest part of publishing: promotion ⚠️ 19:00 — Avoiding publishing scams 📚 21:40 — The Storyhouse Works writing community 🎟 23:20 — Event details: Stories Unfold in Amsterdam ⸻ 📣 For Writers If you’ve ever thought: “I have a story to tell…” This might be the perfect place to start. 👉 Learn more about the event here: https://storyhouseworks.com/stories-unfold-2026
