      Kindle Publishing - James Bell

      About the Author

      I’m a full-time self-publisher, who enjoys the process of writing and starting businesses.

      I’ve been self-publishing for around 3 years now and in that time I’ve managed to learn a little bit of what works, and what does not work, when it comes to self-publishing non-fiction books.

      Before taking the plunge into self-publishing full-time I was a systems engineer by trade. My formal education was in computer science, and I still love technology.
