Who Watches the Watchers

Sarah Barham

High school student Sarah Barham has a lot of talent, but not a lot of cash (at least not yet). So when she wanted to get her first novel into print, she couldn't afford the pricey packages of some publishing platforms. With Blurb, she was able to print a bookstore-quality proof book quickly and within budget. She's already on version two of her book.
