Perhaps you dream of becoming a writer, of being able to hold in your hands a book with your name on the cover. You want to beautify the world with your words, maybe even being able to quit your job in doing so. Imagine how that would feel, earning your own income by entering your most favourite world – the world of books, words, authors, eBooks, and publishing.
My name is Fiona Ferris, and this was me. But then I took it a step further – I educated myself on being an author, and started self-publishing my books five short years ago. Within two years I became a fully self-supported work-from-home author, and my happy success continues to this day.
I still pinch myself that this is my reality, and I genuinely believe that if I can do it, anyone with a desire to write can do it. In this book I share everything I have learned, along with my best success tips to help you on your author journey.
