Traditional publishers wouldn’t accept his story because of the self-publishing route he had taken. He was met with rejection and skepticism from publishing industry professionals. Adam McHugh, a creative and determined individual, refused to accept this and instead turned to the world of self-publishing. He decided to self-publish his illustrated children’s book through the popular platform, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). KDP allows authors to publish their work on Amazon.com and offers various tools and features that make it easy to produce high-quality digital books. Adam McHugh’s self-publishing journey began with a detailed outline of his book’s content, which he carefully crafted to ensure it was engaging and appealing to young readers. He also included high-quality illustrations that showcased his artistic skills. With his manuscript and illustrations ready, he uploaded his book to KDP’s platform, selecting the Kindle Direct Publishing option to make it available for digital sale on Amazon. He paid the required publishing fee, and his book became live on Amazon within a short period. The self-publishing process allowed Adam to maintain creative control and flexibility in producing his book.

McHugh’s campaign, however, was different. He had no idea how much money he needed to raise, and he didn’t have a clear plan for how he would use the funds.

The Unexpected Career Change

McHugh’s journey from hospice chaplain to sommelier is a testament to the power of adaptability and the willingness to take risks. He had always been drawn to the world of wine, but it wasn’t until he was in his mid-40s that he decided to make a drastic change. • He had grown tired of the emotional toll of working in hospice care, where he had to deal with the loss and grief of patients and their families. • He was also feeling unfulfilled in his role as a chaplain, where he felt like he was just going through the motions.
