meeting amazon's breakthrough writer

This week, I met Rysa Walker, author of Timebound and 2013 Winner of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award — Grand Prize and Young Adult Fiction category. 

She spoke about writing Young Adult literature at my local library, and her historical time travel book is on my to-read list. I was also encouraged by hearing about Rysa's indie writing journey.

(Note to self...next time, remember to snap photo of me with said famous writer!) 

Check out Rysa's tips for self-publishing in the digital age.
