One of the most successful self-published authors in history tops today’s Buffet. Amanda Hocking is the USA Today bestselling author of the Trylle trilogy and six additional self-published novels. After selling over a million copies of her books, primarily in Kindle format, she is widely considered the exemplar of self-publishing success in the digital age.<\/p>\n

\"amanda\"<\/a>Amanda lives in Austin, Minnesota, where she was employed as a group home worker until 2010. She wrote 17 novels in her spare time, and in 2010, she began self-publishing them as Kindle books. Within weeks, she had sold over a million copies and earned $2 million from sales.<\/p>\n

Amanda’s published work (originally self-published), consists of My Blood Approves<\/em>, a vampire romance series; the Trylle Trilogy, which covers a teenage girl’s journey of self-discovery in an urban fantasy setting; and Hollowland<\/em>, a zombie novel that tops today’s Buffet. The New York Times characterized Amanda’s novels as “part quirky girl-like-Hocking characters, part breakneck pacing, part Hollywood-style action and part bodice-ripping romance -\u2013 they are literature as candy, a mash-up of creativity and commerce.”<\/p>\n

In March 2011, Hocking signed her first conventional publishing contract for four books, at a price of two million dollars, with St. Martin’s Press. It concerns her new young-adult paranormal series called “Watersong”. Book one, “Wake”, was released in August 2012. All three books in her previously self-published Trylle Trilogy were also sold to St. Martin’s Press, and have been re-released from January\u2013April 2012.<\/p>\n
