How a Book Review Led an Introverted Blogger to a Book Deal

Paul V. Vitagliano’s Born This Way Blog Attracts Agents After Two Weeks

When I saw Paul V. Vitagliano’s blog-to-book story, I was intrigued by both his story and the stories he had published on the blog and in the book, Born This Way: Real Stories of Growing Up.
