So not only did you teach me about writing memoir, you also taught me about reading and thinking about how others write memoir. Thank you so much! Rebecca

Self Published book makes NY Times best Seller List

While reading C. Hope Clark's Funds for WRiters newsletter today, I became excited about a conference on her itinerary. As I read about it, I found out it is this weekend, too late for me to attend.
But on the conference website I saw that the keynote speaker was a woman from Nebraska who had written and self published a novel which made the NY Times Best Seller List.

She has sold over 75, 000 copies - all online-  at 99 cents each. She has made lots of money and has refused to publish her second book by a traditional publisher. She also has an agent.
See the sidebar for a link to her story.

  1. I met Victorine, that NYT bestselling author and we had pizza together on Friday night, talking about the country, cooking, chickens, you name it - LOL. She is a lovely woman indeed and so talented. She loves self-publshing and can tell you how to do it right. I love an author who knows what she wants to do.
