One of my (many) little projects that I was working on over Christmas, was the updating and revision of my popular book for article writers: The Complete Article Writer.
It was also an interesting exercise because, as a self-published book, I had the joys of bringing the book across from Createspace, the platform I’d used originally to publish the text, the Amazon’s latest self-publishing print platform, KDP.
