There’s a lot to understand as an independent author, so we’ll go through:*Writing and it’s all based on my own journey, so you know it has been tried and tested. Like you, I always dreamed of being a writer, and reading has always been my escape and my fun, but for many years I was held back from actually writing a book by fears and mental blocks. And of course, writing could never make a decent income … or could it? I wrote my first non-fiction book in 2007 and made huge mistakes along the way, but I’ve learned a lot since then. I’ve written non-fiction as well as fiction and hit the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists as a self-published author. In 2011, I left my day job to become a full-time author entrepreneur. You can see behind the scenes of my writing day in London as well as discovering how self-publishing changed my life in this video made by Amazon inthis video made by Amazon. I have a lot to share with you if you’d like to follow the same path! For now, take a another look at the Blueprint and I’ll be back soon with how I actually write my fiction and non-fiction books. Plus, the one tool that could really change your writing life for the better. All the best on your writing journey, Joanna P.S.
