This whole week has been filled with exciting author success stories, like Wednesday’s story about 8-year-old Dalton James, who wrote, illustrated, and published two children’s books and now speaks to fellow elementary school students about how they can do the same…
… or Tuesday’s story about Gang Chen, who’s book held the #1 Amazon bestseller spot in two different categories and how he has earned over $100,000 in six months self-publishing with Outskirts Press…
… or yesterday’s story about Mary Singer Wick and her climb to #1 on Amazon.
