In his discussion with Gery, Peter explained that his writing business took off because of his experience as a door-to-door salesman.  “When I launched my commercial-freelancing practice in 1994, I had no paid professional writing experience, no writing training, and no contacts,” Peter explained. “Yet, I focused on what I DID know – how to pick up the phone and make cold calls. 1000+ calls and about 4 months later, I had more work than I could handle.”

As an accomplished self-published author, much of Peter’s success comes from his determination to learn the publishing business. “I had never written a book, nor had any idea how to get it published,” he said. “But over several years, I finished the book, and then, after doing a lot of research, realized that going the traditional publishing route (i.e., where you’d give up creative control, control of the timetable, the rights, and most of the profits) wasn’t for me. I decided instead to self-publish, and I’ve done FAR better than I could ever have done with a publisher.”
