Many want to become an author, but why? Do you have a message or story to tell? Maybe you’ve felt like you need to “let it all out” but you’re not sure how, if it’s appropriate, or perhaps you don’t want to upset someone who might be a part of the story? Well, let’s talk about it… What you’re feeling and why. What you want to share and who it may benefit. And also the business of creating a platform that is more than a hobby.
