LEARNING SOMETHING NEW
I read this really interesting article this week, “What Makes a $100k Author: 8 Findings Every Author Should Know” by Ferol Vernon published by Written Word Media. An encouraging realistic look at what it means to be a highly successful author raking in the big bucks, I found a lot of great information and perspective in this article. ➡️ https://www.writtenwordmedia.com/100k-author/
