From Instagram to New York Times Bestseller: The Post-Prison Career
At 56:12 · chapter starts 51:40
The creative output Wallo built from a contraband iPod evolved into a full literary career. His first book, 'Letters to Freedom,' was a novella written inside — a love letter to the idea of freedom — which he later took down, dissatisfied with it. After release, he had Instagram video transcripts converted into three volumes of 'The Mind of Wallo.' In 2024, 'Armed with Good Intentions' became an instant New York Times bestseller. Then came the move that most traditionally published authors would never make: he founded Nanny's House Publishing, named after his grandmother, and on a single day dropped three books simultaneously — 'Fuck Them,' 'Social Media Made Me Do It,' and '3 Buckets.' No gatekeepers, no compromise. The same mentality that built a following in a prison cell was now running a publishing company.
Wallo's 2024 book 'Armed with Good Intentions' was an instant New York Times bestseller, marking a major milestone in his post-prison career.
Through his own publishing company Nanny's House Publishing, Wallo released three books on the same day in 2025: 'Fuck Them,' 'Social Media Made Me Do It,' and '3 Buckets.'
After an instant New York Times bestseller, Wallo launched Nanny's House Publishing and dropped three books simultaneously: 'Fuck Them,' 'Social Media Made Me Do It,' and '3 Buckets.' No label, no gatekeepers, total ownership.
