Synopsis

This is the story of Tim Sorady, who at an early age learned to enjoy motorcycles and the free life. Growing to become a carefree biker enjoying the open roads and all that was a part of life. Enjoying rides, friends, family.

The experiences that resulted from a major accident and the road to recovering. Treatment in the medical system, both good and bad. The lack of advocacy. And the community he grew part of and how he was treated following the accident.

This is his account based on medical records, notes kept by his wife, and personal experience. No one is able to provide detail of all the pitfalls of recovery unless they have experienced it like Tim.

Sales arguments

  • Provides first hand information to help others recover from situations.
  • Discusses the need to an advocate following a major injury.

Audience

Anyone looking to know the first hand experiences following a major accident and the recovery possibilities

Timothy Sorady

About the author

From living a carefree biker life to sustaining major injuries following an accident.

From no memory of what occurred, the things once memory returned, being a quadrapalegic. Told by doctors that I will never be out of bed again. The fights, pain and fortitude to get my life back.

I am a Navy veteran, was an avid outdoorsman, father and husband. My life changed in an instant as a driver failed to look before turning.

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
