"I became a New York Times bestselling author in 2004, ten years after commercially publishing my first book, which landed on many other bestseller lists. Last year, I met Michael Stickler through a God thing. With 15 commercially published books in my bibliography, published in 24 languages, I was astonished to learn from Mike how much the publishing industry has shifted beneath my feet. I asked if I could work with him and his team at Leader-ship Books for my next two projects. Mike is the wisdom and knowledge librarian of all that is book and media publishing in our mod- ern world. Now, you can access his vast knowledge and wisdom in his masterpiece of an aspiring writer's journey in Mike's new book, Invisible to Viral.
