The World of Amanda Hocking From Amazon.com to Wal-Mart: Amanda Hocking's Blog: New Wesbite, More Info, & Happy Holidays!

Author Amanda Hocking has a brand new spanking website designed with the collaboration of St. Martin's Press that signed the author earlier this year.  The site has all the ebooks which she successfully published before signing with the press.  According to The World of Amanda Hocking, her new book is going to be released on January 3, 2012.  It will be ready for sale on the same day.  However, if you can not wait, you can pre-order the book from the above site.  "Switched" which the mega-selling selfpublished author had published in ebook format will be available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million, Indie Bound, Macmillan, Powell's, and Wal-Mart.

Now, that is what we are talking about.  Amanda Hocking, plucked from the followship of self-published authors who made it big by herself, can now rely on the distributing arms and power of an established press such as St. Martin's Press.  With this release, the queen of self-publishing will be able to devote much needed time to her writing.  The troubles of money will have been in a long distant past.  Amanda will be able to tap into the resources of the press for editorial works and guidance with her career.

A writer knows he/she has made it when his/her books can be found on the shelves of Wal-Mart all the country and the world.

Congratulations to Amanda!

Thanks to KDP.Amazon.com, Smashwords.com, bn.com/pubit, and many other sites, indie writers are finally connecting with the readers who purchase ereaders and ebooks.
