Mark Dawson, The Million Dollar King of Self Publishing, Accused Of Plagiarism
And the claims are pretty damning…
Mark Dawson’s time appears to have come.
For the uninitiated, Mark Dawson is big news in self-publishing, being well known as a huge proponent of the 20booksto50k ‘method’. According to his Wikipedia entry, he now has forty-six novels published in the space of ten years. And, according to Insider, he made a cool $1.3 million in 2021 from his self-publishing empire. How much came from direct book sales or related income streams is unknown, but he is said to have achieved more than six million book downloads.
There are a lot of pies that Dawson has his fingers in, such as a podcast, being a constant contributor to the famous 20booksto50k Facebook group, his self-publishing courses on pretty much every self-publishing subject there can be, and, of course, his attendance at the money-spinning 20BooksTo50k Vegas conventions he and his chums put on every year for wannabe self-publishing authors, promising them the golden ticket. Anyone can make a fortune self-publishing, they tell you. You just need to pay through the nose for their golden advice and you’re on your way to the big time, just like Dawson.
But one wonders… How does Dawson write so many novels, promote those novels, plan…
