Linda Moon –
Fabulous overview of self-publishing in non-fiction with many insights offered by someone who has already done so. This has inspired me to build more income by writing non-fiction books and to build my own portfolio. Anna explores the downs as well as the ups of something that is becoming increasingly popular.
