The self-publishing author is a special breed. Dedicated, independent writers spend many hours, many weeks and months – and often many years – doling out little pieces of themselves onto the pages of their books. This week’s Spotlight author is a great example of that dedication.
Each week, we celebrate one of our successful authors in our Self-Publishing Author Spotlight. This week Outskirts Press proudly features David O’Conner, author of four self-help books that have been helping readers handle stress, abuse, self-improvement and inspiration for years.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
David O’Conner is an experienced speaker, business owner, author, and family man who writes “airplane books”. These 100-150 page books can be read in a couple of hours. He has wrapped his brand of Southern humor around messages that address increasing personal productivity and reducing stress – called O’talks. These O’talks are used in his speeches, workshops, and one-on-one coaching. They accomplish David’s desire to deliver material that conveys a positive, instructive, and retainable message, while equipping the reader/audience with the tools to overcome their challenges with confidence and independence.
