Author Success Stories
My book would not exist without Roland and Forlorn Hope Publishing
“My book would not exist without Roland and Forlorn Hope Publishing. Seriously, I poured HUNDREDs of hours into this book over about 7 years and it was still not closer to seeing the light of day. They came in, made it amazingly better than I ever could AND got it together and out the door. It’s only been a few months since the book launched, but I made the best seller lists, sold more copies than I expected, and got a bunch of speaking engagement opportunities out of it, etc. Truly a huge help.”
Jordan Ostroff
Author of-Love Your Law Firm.
If you want a book . . .
If you have ever watched James Burke on Connections, then maybe you won’t be amazed how Roland Hicks can take some historical detail or a movie quote or a piece of sports trivia and related it to modern day law or how he can craft a story that hits home so hard that you feel seen and understood. If you want a book that will be like no one else would write with you, check out Forlorn Hope Publishing.
