#WhyIPublish

What inspired you to publish your book? Through sharing these stories, it is our mission to inspire other writers to find the courage to publish their book!

We recently posted on social media asking authors to share why they publish and the responses awed and inspired us. There are so many incredible reasons people decide to publish every day, and we’d like to know more about who/what inspires you to share your story. We will be featuring select stories across our social media channels: Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter. Don't stop there! Take our 8-question survey, so you can help us continue to spread a love of publishing.
