This week, I met Rysa Walker, author of Timebound and 2013 Winner of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award — Grand Prize and Young Adult Fiction category. 

She spoke about writing Young Adult literature at my local library, and her historical time travel book is on my to-read list. I was also encouraged by hearing about Rysa's indie writing journey.

(Note to self...next time, remember to snap photo of me with said famous writer!) 

Check out Rysa's tips for self-publishing in the digital age.

  • Know your market
  • Know your subject
  • Write the best book you can
  • Develop thick skin
  • Ignore the old rules

Rysa's second book in her CHRONOS Files series is slated for release in the fall of 2014 on Amazon.  For updates, check her website: www.rysa.com.
