The book HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS was published on my
birthday 1st December 2017.
It was not planned that way. It just happened. I started
writing ‘How to Write for Success’ just after I had published Zeeka Chronicles
in February 2017. Because of the resounding success of Zeeka Chronicles. I
decided to share with new and aspiring authors how to write a best-selling and
award-winning book. I was hesitant to publish the book as I was unsure how well
it would be received by other authors. I finally published it and it was live
on Amazon on 1st December 2017. Was that a coincidence that it was live
on my birthday?
In January 2018, one month after the book How to Write for
Success was published, Readers Favorite gave it a five-star review. It also
garnered several more five-star reviews. That inspired me to start the Literary
Forum HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS on 5th February 2018.
I had no idea at that time what direction the forum would
take. We had few members and at first, I felt that we were not achieving much. However, with our innovative ideas, we grew by leaps and bounds.
I will list the successes hereunder:
Feb.2019 – With 49 co-authors, A Spark of Hope: A Treasury
of Poems for Saving Lives Volume 1 was published.
Feb. 2020 – With 64 co-authors, A Spark of Hope: A Treasury
of Poems for Saving Lives Volume 2 was published.
Both books topped the charts on Amazon and made Best Seller
No. 1 within the space of a few days.
March 5th 2020 - Together with 87 co-authors, the
Forum also published a ground-breaking Anthology, Break the Silence: An
Anthology Against Domestic Violence.
The book contained an article by the Moderator of the
Presbyterian Church in Trinidad, Right Reverend Joy Abdul-Mohan. The Anthology
topped the charts of Amazon in a few days and became an Amazon bestseller No 1
The sub-forums Poems for Suicide Prevention, Poems Against Domestic Violence, and Library of How to Write for Success were established
thereafter.
15th February 2020 Alem Hailu of the Ethiopian
Herald published a review of the book How to Write for Success. CLICK HERE TO READ
