Welcome to Week 1 of Self Publishing Month!

We’re kicking things off with Newfoundland’s own Ida Linehan Young—an incredible author of fiction, memoir, and children’s books. Ida has experience in both traditional publishing and self-publishing, and her story is so inspiring we had to split it into TWO parts! Don’t miss this one.

Make sure you follow us for more Self Publishing Month adventures!
