Meet April

The useful version of the story.

April Teichman writes the kind of books she wishes someone had handed her first.

Her nonfiction covers sweepstakes, paid research, side hustles, and other ways ordinary people can bring in extra money without pretending any of it is effortless. She writes from firsthand experience: what worked, what did not, what paid, what wasted time, and what readers should watch for.

April is a military veteran and longtime telecom and technology professional. She lives in Overland Park, Kansas, with her husband and three cats. Otto considers himself an essential part of the publishing operation.
