GW Tolley was 95% hearing impaired until his second year of High School. He had emergency surgery that corrected the issue. English, spelling, and grammar were not a strong suit.Do not let what you think is a disability stop you.When the storm of his life started with identity theft, laid off, the loss of a loved one, being homeless, and what seemed to be endless struggles, there appeared to be no hope or purpose in sight. When the stories want to come out, they will find a way. The stories busted out in the form of books. Now, seven plus years and 17 books later, the goal is to show You how to Completely Self-Publish so YOUR Stories get out into the world.Do not let your situation or situations overcome you. Everyone has challenges and issues.If writing a book is on your heart, mind, and in your soul, then do it no matter what anyone else says or does. There are Dream Killers everywhere. You might even hear: "It will not sell!" or "You cannot do that!" The best thing is to keep it quiet and tell no one. Once published, talk and promote all you want. It is your dream, and that is all that matters. Do not take it personally!Jealousy and envy run among the ones that want to hold you down. Do not be a victim!The difference between a writer and an author is that an author is published.You never know who your story will touch or inspire. The World is Waiting. How will you use your passion to impact others or the world? It all starts with one person, and that is YOU.It is not about me. It is all about inspiring others with hope.GW TolleyInternational Author, Self-Publishing Coach, Udemy Instructor (SELF PUBLISHING-Outside the Box), Writer / Executive Producer of "i am JOSIAH" Movie, TV Host / Executive Producer of "What's Your Story," Google Influencer (65 Million Plus in two years), Podcaster, YouTuber, Homeless, Underprivileged, Hearing Impaired and Deaf Awareness Advocate, WRITE It OUT Program (Firefighters, First Responders, Military, and Police Officers).What you'll learnWhy you should write a book and know your "WHY."Where to get started: Develop a Topic / Story-LinePage / Book Size, Images, Margins, Get to the PointTypes of Self-Publishing, Titles, and ProgramsFont, Colors, Use Caution, Slang and BIG Words, Target Audience and CategoryForeward, Co-Authors, Special Guests, Reviews, Launch DateHouse Keeping: Additional Cost, Self FulfillmentEdit, Edit, Edit, Launch Party, Social Media LaunchMarketing, Branding, Hash Tags, Swag bags, Film Festivals, One thing could lead to anotherAre there any course requirements or prerequisites?No prior experience is needed or required.
