  • Amazing advice. Thank you for sharing.
  • Mrs, Van Zandt, I agree with you. Publish a book is easier than it was 10 years ago. However, sell them is much harder than before. Success in Canada doesn't mean success in the USA or other countries. Secret is writing the best book you can and have a solid marketing plan. www.nicoleaudet.com
