    My man makes it to the top, and uses the platform to plug other authors' works. Doesn't get better than that.

    I wrote a poetry book and published it myself on Amazon. But guess what, no one ever read it. Absolutely no single one. I still hope that people find it or a miracle happens to me as well. I’m so happy for this man, it’s so relatable how exasperated he was at first

    I’m honestly tearing up. It’s been my dream to become an author since I was a teenager and I have been a bookworm my entire life so it honestly makes me so happy to see small authors like this make it big. Please if you can support small authors.
