In our 10th episode, Angela Hoy tells us the interesting circumstances that led to the creation of WritersWeekly.com, how she later created a successful book publishing business, and about the oftentimes stressful (but sometimes funny) personal and professional struggles she had along the way. 

We learn how WritersWeekly.com went from being almost a side hobby to make a little extra money, to a means of survival during hard times, to a proven marketing tool, as well as a FREE source of help for writers and authors everywhere!

Did you know that BookLocker.com started out as a small, ebook-only online bookstore that Angela acquired after one of her ebooks instantly became that website’s #1 best seller? BookLocker.com has since published more than 16K print and electronic titles! Hear how the company grew, and listen to the challenges of running an online business while traveling across America in an RV for years. 

Angela has endured dire financial times, sleepless nights, corporate bullies, stressful legal battles, and even threats against her family and life! And, she raised 5 kids (and then some) throughout it all. 

This is truly an amazing story of endurance, courage, and a strong will to succeed.
