HER CHRONOLOGICAL TIMELINE FOR 2023


Conception & Congratulations June 29, 2023 Her author opened a letter that would be the exciting catalyst of her publishing journey. It read “We are pleased to let you know that we would love to publish your book under our Historium Press imprint. Thank you for your submission, and we congratulate you on your journey to becoming a published author.”
