– On July 17, 2012, Kobo launched a self-publishing platform called Kobo Writing Life. Key features of Kobo Writing Life include “deep analytics”, allowing authors to track sales in real time; a “learning center” to guide newcomers in digital publishing; and allowing an author to sell books globally. By July 2014, 250,000 books written by 30,000 authors have been published through this program; these authors originate from 157 countries and have books published in 69 languages.

Which means – I also took in the presentation given by Mark Lefebvre to introduce
Kobo and their services.

After he spoke, I went up and introduced myself to Mark and explained
about our box collection – Ten Brides for Ten heroes – and he gave me his card
and suggested I write to him and the staff who are dedicated to helping authors
become successful on Kobo.
Of course I
did. And – he answered my e-mail and was very helpful with information and I believe we now have our
book scheduled for a daily deal.
