LEARN MOREA Note From Melanie
Well, hello there! I’m Melanie, and I am an Amazon Best-Selling Author. I still can't believe those words... Amazon. Best-Selling. Author. To this day, I don't know how someone like me ended up where I am today, but I'm so excited to share my journey with you!
A few years ago, I woke up with an idea and an itch that wouldn’t go away. I wanted to write a children’s book. I had 0, none, zilch prior knowledge of publishing or any writing experience; my only background related to children's books was from my time as an elementary school teacher and from being a mom to my now teen daughters.
I’ve always loved children’s books and the magic they brought to my family, but writing or publishing was totally outside of my comfort zone. However, the itch, the nudge, and the spark remained. I embarked on a journey of research and learning, devouring every resource I could find about self-publishing. I watched hours of videos, listened to endless podcasts, and invested in numerous books, just trying to piece it all together. I encountered setbacks, wasted money, and faced countless dead ends along the way. However, through perseverance and determination, I finally achieved my goal—I published my first book!
Since then, I have authored numerous self-published books and sold over 27,000 books on Amazon. This passive income stream has been a blessing to my family, and the joy I found in the work truly gives me purpose. This success has fueled my desire to not only continue writing and pursuing creative projects but also to share all that I’ve learned.Â
Whether you're a teacher seeking passive income or looking to write content for your classroom, a parent wanting to document a treasured family tradition, or someone with an idea that just won't go away, I can help you achieve your dream of becoming a published author with my easy program. I’ve taken all I’ve learned to create a step-by-step, easy-to-follow path to self-publishing your first book. Once you publish your first book, you can easily repeat the process to build a lasting passive income stream. You’ll save time, money, and avoid the frustrations I faced by following a clear, proven process that breaks down everything from idea to published author. And the best part? You can achieve this dream in 60 days! Sign up now and get started.
Your dream is closer than you think! Let me help you get there! I got you, and I’m excited to be along for your ride to success. Get ready for your life to change!
