Chapter 1: Have You Been Published?

Have you recently released a book? If so, it's time to share your achievement!

On June 24, we celebrate Karen Schwartz, who has just published her debut book. If you, too, have had something published, this is your opportunity to showcase it to your fellow writers. A hearty congratulations to Karen and all others on Medium who have successfully published their works!

I have a couple of notable achievements myself. First, I contributed a chapter to the internationally recognized book, Internet Secrets, authored by the renowned internet expert John Levine. This book is the third installment in the popular Internet for Dummies series.

Secondly, I've had a greeting card published. The competition in greeting card writing was intense, and I suspect that many of them are now created in-house. After submitting around 150 ideas, one finally got selected. My mother reviewed all my submissions, and when this particular card was chosen, she remarked, "This isn't even your best work." I couldn't help but agree with her.

Have you had similar experiences? Have you published anything recently?

Don't forget to check out Karen's book, Huey, No!, available on Amazon.
