Hello, I'm Orna Ross.
I’m an Irish historical novelist, poet, and founder-director of the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi), a global non-profit for self-publishing writers. In 2011, I made the best move of my writing life when I took my publishing rights back from my publishers, Penguin, to self-publish my books, my way. It’s made me a passionate advocate for self-publishing and author empowerment.
