Self-publishing offers a viable means for converting your ideas from manuscript to a digital or printed book. That's where Michele DeFilippo comes in. Through her company, 1106 Design, she and her team offer a proven approach to guide authors through the self-publishing process.
In this scale tale, Michele shares how she stumbled into starting a business that has helped 4,000 authors self-publish their books while generating revenue just under $1M USD.
As you listen to her story, you'll also discover:

- The pros and cons of hiring a ghostwriter,
