Orna Ross is hosting a live Google+ Q&A event with Kindle Scout GM Dina Hilal and Amazon's Susan Stockman
Each month Orna chats with experts and entrepreneurs from her indie author network. Each indie author’s journey is different, and the key to making the best decisions is knowing what self-publishing options are available.
