A.G., thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?
When I was 8, I discovered my passion for writing and telling stories. In high school, I learned that business can also be creative. I ran a high-school magazine without realizing I was running a small business. But since I made a profit, that’s exactly what I was doing.
In 2015, the London Book Fair revealed the literary world’s direction. It was quite an eye-opener. Self-publishing, which was brought to the forefront by Amazon, wasn’t a fad. This huge opportunity would withstand the contempt and disdain of critics and publishers and provide budding writers a legitimate avenue to showcase their work to readers. As Mark Dawson shared his success story of making a six-figure income from selling self-published eBooks, an idea occurred to me. I’d do again what I did in my high-school days. This time around, I planned to develop an online publication that provided the same service to the self-publishing industry as Publisher’s Weekly did to traditional publishers.
Six months later, Self-Publishing Mastery was born. We held our first Self-Publishing Mastery Virtual Summit in 2017 and in 2022, prior to moving to Arizona, we were awarded the Best Educational Center in Santa Ana, California. Today, Self-Publishing Mastery offers free access to writing and self-publishing knowledge, as well as book coaching and marketing assistance. Our reputation is built on our ability to get our clients to the top of the Amazon Bestseller Lists.
