LOS ANGELES, March 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

75% of authors make less than $250 a month, but this is about to change because of the 5-Figure Author Challenge (March 15-19, 2017).

This 100% FREE online event, hosted by multi-award-winning, #1 international best-selling author Alinka Rutkowska, is for writers who want to stop struggling with writing, marketing and selling their books.
