Great content. Thank you. The idea of self-publishing has been very scary to me because of books that I have seen that look very much like a do-it-yourself project, and I say that in the worst way. The idea that it is perfectly reasonable to get a professional involved was very liberating for me.

Eric, from a session you presented at a previous summit, I learned about self-publishing as an option to traditional publishing. I followed up with you via email, you offered to speak to me on the phone, and from that conversation, you gave me the confidence to pursue self-publishing. I will always be so grateful for your help. I have now published one book with Karen’s GetYourBookIllustrations (so highly recommended!) and have 4 more in the works with GYBI. You are a wealth of knowledge – I hope others will benefit from everything you have to offer.

I’m truly grateful for your generous comments and I’m so happy for your success! Comments like this is what pushes me to continue to do what I do! I’m really happy to hear how well things worked out with you and Karen, that’s fantastic. And 4 more books in the works! YES!! Congrats! Keep this wonderful journey going! 🙂
