Who here has seen 'Project Hail Mary', starring Ryan Gosling??? โ Or 'The Martian' starring Matt Damon??? โ
๐ Andy Weir is one of the best examples of how self-publishing can propel a writer from obscurity to global recognition.
After years of sharing his writing online, he self-published 'The Martian' on Kindle in 2011. He quickly attracted a loyal audience through word of mouth. ๐
๐ That success caught the attention of Crown Publishing, which picked up the book in 2014. It went on to become a bestseller and was adapted into the 2015 film starring Matt Damon and directed by Ridley Scott.
๐๐ Since then, Weir has released Artemis and Project Hail Mary, proving that self-publishing can be more than a backup plan.
It can be a powerful way to build an audience and create opportunities.
