Kelly Goes Viral!

We here at INscribe pride ourselves at being lead innovators in the eBook market - and it shows! First, Kelly's blog series Creating eBook Bestsellers got a revamp when picked up by BAIPA's Independent in "Creating an eBook Bestseller in 4 Steps". Now she's gone viral thanks to epic fantasy writer Joshua Robertson in his YouTube video "How to Make Your eBook a Bestseller".
