How I Wrote a Book to Help with COVID-19 Relief Efforts

In early 2020, I decided to write a book about virtual team activities and donate the profits to help with COVID-19 relief efforts.

I also wanted to document my journey to help other authors write and publish their own books.

This page is a one-stop-shop for all the posts and podcast episodes that I published along the way.
