An Ordinary Day Turned Extraordinary

For author James Kelly, his day starts like any other day, unaware of what’s in store for him when he arrives at Dorrance Publishing.

As Mr. Kelly arrives he’s calm as he walk down the hall towards a meeting room where he is expecting a routine discussion. The Dorrance team is already there—but there’s a glint in their eyes and a quiet energy in the air that says something big is about to unfold.

Then Mr. Davison, a Director and author at Dorrance Publishing tee’s up the surprise…In one heartfelt announcement, and the drop of a curtain Kelly learns: “Your book is now an Amazon Bestseller!”

There’s a pause—an audible heartbeat between disbelief and joy. As the news sets in so does the joy as Kelly’s eyes widen, and the sound of a standing ovation fills the room from the team at Dorrance!

This isn’t just about a book. It’s about years of self-doubt being shattered in a single moment. It’s about validation. It’s about a dream not just imagined—but achieved and dominated.

This video isn’t just an inspiring clip

This is a reminder to all of those who write and create – these are the moments we strive for, this is why we bare are soles for the world to see. Why we put our creativity out into the world and allow others to judge us. 

The team here at Dorrance didn’t just send Mr. Kelly an email or package saying “congrats…” We created an unforgettable memory, honoring the emotional weight behind Mr. Kelly’s author’s journey because we understand what it takes to write a manuscript, ignore our naysayers and persevere against all odds. So, when a writer becomes a published author or a fellow author becomes a bestseller you can trust that Dorrance will be there through the celebrations and when you need a little motivation.

So, for anyone who’s ever questioned if their story or creative style is good enough—this video is the answer. Yes. It is.
