From Aspiring Writer to Published Author!
In 2021, Chief Officer Stephen Davis of Orange County Fire Rescue of Central Florida refused to reprimand his personnel over a Covid-19 vaccine mandate. The men and women he was responsible for had religious and medical exemptions – Stephen was told to write them up. He didn’t. For his courageous defense of their civil liberties, Stephen, a dedicated husband and father of two was promptly terminated just before Christmas.
Stephen was thrust into the public spotlight for his bold defiance of the order. He became famous overnight, meeting such influential public figures as Senator Ted Cruz, Governor Ron DeSantis, and former NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch. Stephen knew that writing a memoir of his life and these experiences would be the best way to record and document them for the benefit of all the world to learn from. He turned to Choice to bring his vision to life.
Aspiring authors run into roadblocks the moment they pursue traditional publishing outlets. They find themselves stuck in the endless cycle of query letters, waiting for responses that never come. If they do get accepted, traditional publishers may see an author’s book as too specialized or personal and the creative compromises they demand to meet market trends does not often align with an author’s personal vision. These are just some of the many problems aspiring authors face, so what’s the solution?
Stephen Davis realized that hybrid publishing offered him the perfect balance of professional support and creative freedom. With the expertise of Choice Press, he was able to shape his book exactly as he envisioned, without sacrificing quality, and while still banking on success.
