Amanda Hocking is one of the first self-published authors to earn millions through paranormal romance novels on Amazon.
Hocking started writing at a young age, & vy the time she was working in residential care in her mid-twenties, she had already written over a dozen books, many of which she pitched to agents without success.
π As the story goes, her turning point came in 2010 when she posted her books on Amazon to make $300 for a trip to see an exhibition about Muppet creator Jim Henson.
π Little did she know that this decision would change her life dramatically. Her stories quickly found a devoted fanbase and, within a year, she'd sold over a million copies!
