Carla King was turned down by big publishing in 1994 and so she self-published her guidebook to bicycling the French Riviera. She made enough money to return to France twice more, which helped her fall in love with the self-publishing process.
With a career in technical writing and an adventurous spirit she was perfectly positioned to adopt the indie author lifestyle and to help others do it, too.
In 2008 she started teaching classes on how to write for the web, build platform with a website, and how to format and self-publish books. In 2010 she founded Self-Pub Boot Camp, a program of books, workshops, and virtual classes that step authors through the publishing process.
Carla is a frequent speaker on adventures in travel, writing, and publishing. The 3rd edition of her Self-Publishing Boot Camp Guide for Authors, released in March, has been downloaded over 30,000 times.
Her email newsletter keeps you up to date on changes in the self-publishing industry as well as offers tips and tricks on how to save time and money using reputable, reliable, and cost-effective tools and services.
