edit data

Polly Letofsky is best known for being the first woman to walk around the world. It took five years to complete her walk and another six years to write the book about her journey.

After a series of bad choices in her publishing endeavors, she launched into a deep dive to study the industry. The results were six national awards for her book, 3mph: The Adventures of One Woman’s Walk Around the World, and the eventual beginning of My Word! Publishing, a self-publishing project management and consulting business.
