Overview
I wrote my first book in 2014 while 22 and unemployed -- and it has made over $14,000 in profits, with virtually no marketing or prior audience. Ever since, I've dedicated his life to helping others write unputdownable, authoritative books.
I've worked with dozens of authors from all walks of life (primarily entrepreneurs), at Scribe Media (founded by 4x-NYT Bestselling Author Tucker Max) and now at my brand, Platypus Publishing.
Our latest book, Ticketless, has been featured by ESPN Radio, The Daily Beast, Yahoo! Sports, The Big Lead and other major outlets.
