Everyone has interesting stories. Whether you have a series of short life stories or a whole memoir waiting to come out on paper, the big question is who will want to read it? Of course your stories will be important to your family, and maybe even your friends, but do you think strangers will shell out money to read your stories? Are you willing to poke your head above the comforting waters of anonymity and publicize your book to the masses?
