We are Caedis Knight




Hi, we're Jacky and Natali, and together we have written dozens of books (as N J Simmonds, Natali Simmonds, and Jacqueline Silvester), both traditionally published and indie, across many genres including fantasy, YA, paranormal romance, and thrillers. In 2019 we joined forces to co-write our indie series, Blood Web Chronicles, as Caedis Knight. With twenty years of publishing experience between us, we have learned all there is to know about getting a book into the world and the many options available to writers. We love teaching and regularly lecture at schools, universities, and film academies - which is why we have created the Caedis Knight Romance Writing School. We can't wait to connect with more students and help YOU on your path to publication!

A guide to self-publishing and whether it's for you


Choosing to self-publish is a big decision, so it's vital to understand the pros and cons of this difficult but rewarding option before taking the plunge. In this course, established authors Jacqueline Silvester and N J Simmonds, will provide an unfiltered look behind the scenes of what it truly means to self-publish. They will guide you through choosing the right genres, the financial and time investments required, and explain how it's even possible to self-publish while continuing as a traditionally published author. By the end of the course you will have a clear idea of what the self-publishing process looks like, and whether sit's the right option for you and your work.
