We all know that self-publishing can be challenging, but for one writer, it's hell! Cärl Brüder was a young self-publishing guru, his name whispered in awe and admiration among hopeful writers. His webinars and courses were like golden tickets to the world of successful indie publishing, and students from all walks of life flocked to him with dreams of becoming best-selling authors. He exuded confidence and charm, his words laced with promises of wealth and stardom that seemed within reach for those who followed his teachings. And yet, for one particular student, these promises remained elusive and unattainable, creating a mounting sense of desperation and disappointment. The reality of their situation slowly dawned on them as they faced the daunting question: what happens when the young teacher's guarantees of success don't come true? It was a problem that threatened to shatter their dreams and leave them lost in the harsh reality of the publishing world. Totally recommended if you like Carlton Mellick III, Cameron Pierce, Adult Swim, and the wacky and weird!
