Fernando Gamboa
Spain / Adventure
“In 2007 I began publishing novels with traditional publishers, but despite selling tens of thousands of copies, I never believed in the possibility of dedicating myself to writing professionally. Something that didn’t happen until I started self-publishing on DKP in 2011 and selling my books on Amazon. Since then, my books not only reach readers around the world, but I have also become one of the most successful authors in my country. So I can say without any doubt that today I am a professional author thanks to Amazon and Direct Kindle Publishing. What more could I ask for?”
