Why did Annie want to become an author?
Annie was on a stair-stepper at a gym, listening to the audiobook of Rachel Hollis, when an idea came to her mind that she wanted to become an author. She thought, when Rachel can do it, she can also do it!
She fell in love with personal development when she was a Sophomore in college. She read about a hundred books in just 6 months and she realized that there’s no book written by someone her age. She’s not trying to discredit the messages of the people who are older than her but she thought it’s important to have someone from a college-age perspective to speak in this particular area of lifestyle. For Annie, personal development is for all ages, not only for older people but also for young college students.
How did Happy Self Publishing help Annie become an author?
The experience she had with her former publishing company was horrible, enough to make her not publish again. They had very little communication and interaction with her. She was instead rushed to make decisions, and felt that it was their book and not hers.
She thought if she’s going to publish again, she’s going to do it right and do it with a company that she trusts. She was very cautious when she came to us but after hearing great things about Happy Self Publishing, she thought she’d give us a try!
It is great to hear from Annie herself that she was overwhelmed with how we take care of everything from communication, editing, formatting, cover design, to publishing.
What impact did the book have on Annie’s life and business?
Annie’s book became the Number 1 on New Releases on Amazon when it was published and a lot of copies were sold. However, the messages she received from people suffering from depression or body image issues is what success truly meant to her, knowing that she changed their lives through her book.
Success to her is knowing that behind the number of books she sold, it’s the feeling you have when you have touched someone’s heart through your book.
Annie has a network marketing business but through her book, she was also able to create a new community for herself who like books and personal development. She feels blessed that she has this opportunity through this experience of writing books and sharing her message with the world.
