Teen books...and not only teens

Remember when Harry Potter took the publishing world by storm? The New York Times had to create a children's books bestseller list, just to get Harry off the top of the grown-up stack!
Nothing speaks more to the blockbuster potential for the author who writes - and publishes - just the right book for teens. As did J.K. Rowling, it's possible - though not all that likely - to rocket out of nowhere.
Below are the real life self publishing experiences of authors who have taken on the Young Adult market. This is your opportunity to learn from those who have been there. You'll read about successes and setbacks.
Get some good ideas. Learn about pitfalls to be avoided.
These self publishing stories are posted free for your use. (And you'll find a few more in the self publishing section of my other site, Best Children's Books.)
All I ask is that you take the trouble to Rate and Comment on each account that you read. That way the more helpful accounts will rise to the top. After all, this is The SHARED Self Publishing Experience.
Happy reading, happy writing and happy publishing!
