“One thing that I did start to do at this time was writing stories and sending them off to the magazines I so adored. This was the one thing in my life that I did without considering payment; all I wanted was the thrill of seeing my name in print.

Fantasy author David Dalglish is a big name in the self-publishing world, but he's on the cusp of something even bigger.

His path wasn't easy. When David uploaded his first book, way back in February 2010, he was working in Pizza Hut.

The popularity of his books, and the speed with which he was able to publish them, meant that it didn't take long before he was able to quit that job and write full-time.
