Brooklyn teen Alvaro Blanco writes and publishes sci-fi novel five years after learning English - NY Daily News: Alvaro Blanco will never forget the day last month he came home and found the first copy of his self-published book folded in with the rest of the mail.
Blanco, 17, tore open a tiny box with his name on it and pulled out his 144-page sci-fi epic that took more than a year to write and publish.
“When I first opened it I started to cry,” said Blanco.
The Colombian-born teen - who now lives in Bath Beach - came to the United States with his mother in November 2006 and didn’t speak a word of English.

CreateSpace Featured Author Theresa Ragan Talks Indie Publishing | Good E-Reader - ebook Reader and Digital Publishing News: Romance author Theresa Ragan, a featured author through the CreateSpace platform who also publishes her mystery and thriller titles under the name T.
