Publisher's Synopsis
Do you have ideas you want to share with others? Are you not sure where to start? Perhaps you aren't a writer, well neither am I. I'm here to tell you that thanks to self-publishing and technology the ease with which you can find experts to help you, getting your ideas into a real published book for almost no money is a reality. This book goes through the exact process I have used to publish 5 books. Did I mention I have a full-time job, am a husband and father to 10-year-old twins? I have no time or I don't know where to start are no longer excuses you can use, please grab a copy and see for yourself.When I started my career as a software engineer, I avoided picking up my telephone because I was unsure of what to say. I kept my head down and didn't speak up because I didn't want to do or say the wrong thing, asking a question in class, forget about it. In fact, if someone had asked me to get up on stage and share my work, I would have been terrified.But over the past 20 years, I'm happy to say I've gone through a huge personal transformation. I feel as though I can talk to anyone, anywhere and am bursting with confidence.
