Tina Engler did not start out with the goal to create a multimillion dollar publishing company. She just loved to write romance novels.
She wanted to write the kind of books she loved, and at the time - the 1990s -- her kind of books were not widely available. She got rejected from every publishing house.
Those rejections just spurred her on to publish her own stories electronically. She built a website herself and sold stories as PDFs at first.
Soon she was publishing stories written by other authors, too.
Today her company, Ellora’s Cave, grosses about $15 million per year and sells nearly 200,000 books each month.

Since content is such an important part of marketing today and so huge a part of creating products and services, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised if writers end up being among the most successful entrepreneurs in the new economy. Great to see this post shared with the BizSugar community.
