And it took a year after that to self publish. And I had never heard of create space.

She is a writer...Toby Neal. Have you heard of her?<br />She is a writer and an acquaintance on Maui. She received many rejections from publishers, decided to self publish, and has been very successful.<br />I believe she has even written a book on self publishing. <br />I like reading her books. Check her out. <br />It might get the meter pumping.<br /><br />Christynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317183753658499438.post-45510208614667737842017-06-07T11:22:49.968-05:002017-06-07T11:22:49.968-05:00Don't give an inch!!!!
