WANT TO KNOW HOW I FIGURED ALL OF THIS OUT?
I didn't come from money. I didn't have a degree. I didn't have anyone in my corner telling me how the publishing industry worked.
I started at 17 with a camera. I built a photography business. I shot covers and features for a magazine, learned the business from the inside, and eventually bought it. Then I acquired a 58-year-old legacy publication and transformed it into a modern glossy magazine.
Nobody gave me a roadmap. Nobody handed me the keys. I figured it out the hard way — through grit, trial and error, and a no-permission-required mindset that I've carried my entire life.
I wrote it all down.
Write Your Own Damn Story is my full journey — the wins, the hard lessons, the moments I almost quit, and the philosophy that built everything you see here. If you want to understand not just HOW to build a publishing business but WHY it's worth building — this is the book.
Available as an ebook or audiobook. $14.99.
