Welcome Authors!
My name is Michelle Files, and through my books and articles, I'm sharing my experience with you all.
Do you want to write and publish a book? Well, I am here to help navigate you through all of the writing and publishing struggles that I had to figure out on my own. I've written and published more than two dozen books across multiple genres, including fiction and non-fiction.
Check out my many articles about indie publishing here.
