“I didn't have a lot of hope on it，” she said. How wrong she was. Within a few days, she sold nine copies a day of My Blood Approves, a novel set in Minneapolis. By May she had posted two further books in the series, Fate and Flutter, and sold 624 copies. In July she posted Switched, the novel she wrote in barely more than a week. It brought in more than $6,000 that month alone, and in August she quit her day job as a carer for disabled children.

　　In six months, Hocking raised not only the $300 she needed, but an additional $20,000 selling 150,000 copies of her books. Over the past 20 months Hocking has sold 1.5 million books and made $2.5 million all by herself. Not a single publishing house was in sight.

　　Amanda Hocking did get to Chicago to see the Muppets. And along the way she helps to set off a revolution in global publishing. Now she is considered as a pioneer of the self publishing revolution, where direct contact between author and reader is but a few clicks away.
