Denise's turn

This is Denise - the Mom. Self-publishing is also my passion, and most importantly, helping authors become successful self-publishers is what I work at every day. I always say, "I wish I had me before I published my book". Learning to self-publish was like attending a self-imposed university program with no professor involved. I had to learn everything, and I mean everything, from scratch. It was such hard work and took so much longer than it would have if there had been someone that I could talk to about the whole process. I spent two years stumbling through the process, but the time was well spent. If I do say so myself, my book is beautiful. The proof is in the pudding: it sold over a quarter million copies, mainly to non-book store buyers. That was so exciting. But now, I have turned my focus to helping other people avoid the mistakes that I made and to gain from the good things that I learned. One of my greatest compliments came from a university professor/business editor who interviewed me for a major newspaper. She said, "Denise, you have so much knowledge about publishing books that you now have a Street M.B.A. on the subject." That still makes me smile. I hope that you enjoy our blog and that you tell all your author and publisher friends to visit us and to add some comments.
