Blurb ~ Getting Creative with Kal Barteski: A Self-Publishing Success Story

Filed Under: affiliates, BLOG, Sponsored Posts Tagged With: Blurb, Self Publishing, Success Story, Writers

Had to share a unique success story with all my readers tonight, because definitely made me a bit more optimistic and happy to hear about about this creative person’s success self-publishing.

Why you might ask?

See, I joined and happily completed NaNoWriMo last year and still have yet to finish editing my very own novel.  I know that if and when I do, it would be self-published and just nice to know that success can indeed come to others who are choosing this route.

So, when I learned about Blurb author Kal Barteski’s success, I was ecstatic to hear all about this maker extraordinaire whose creativity knows no bounds. She’s a working designer, painter, storyteller, book creator, TEDx speaker, and calligrapher who can now add “video star” to her resumé with the first of our Canadian book-maker profiles.

Watch the first installment in our Canadian Author video series with a wild look at Kal’s creativity. We think you’ll be inspired to make your own book with Blurb. See the video.
