About Me: My name is Sarra Cannon, and I've been indie publishing since 2010. In that time, I have published 27 books and sold over one million copies.

I've made some mistakes along the way, but I've also learned some valuable lessons that I think will help you reach your goals. I can't wait to help you learn to make money writing what you love.
