Many people have a story close to their heart, but getting that out on a page and doing something with it is easier said than done. D. Alexander and I explore how he took his passion story from his teenage years and was able to put in in front of readers formally.

Along the process, he learned many lessons which changed the framework for his publishing experience and finding readers.
