DIY Books (and Bob) in the News
This just in from the Toot My Own Horn department ...
There's a fantastic article on self-publishing in today's St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I feel blessed that the writer, Shera Dalin, felt the tips and advice I dished out for do-it-yourself authors was valuable enough to use liberally throughout the article.
I hope that my story serves as an example to others that it is quite possible to pursue a passion and purpose -- and find a way to make a living doing it. If you're interested in publishing your own book some day, take a look at the new Self-Publishing Tips & Resources section I just set up online.
Whether you're doing music, books, film or art ... it's all about self-empowerment, baby!
