About
No gatekeepers. No excuses. You wrote the book. Now you need to publish it, market it, and get it into readers' hands. That's exactly what this channel is for. I'm Lara Helmling — publisher, bestselling author, and founder of Forest City Publications. I've watched too many good books disappear because their authors didn't know what to do next. I built this channel so that doesn't happen to yours.
