Student Comments:
"I was really confused abouit what to do when, when I self-published my book.
This workshop made it simple as pie."
Amy Ryan
"When my first book was accepted by a publishing house, I was thrilled. I
figured my work was over. But then I learned (the hard way!) that promotion was my
job too. Without this workshop, I wouldn't have known...and it's unlikely that first
book would have gone anywhere. Now I use this Time Table for everything I publish,
and sales are great!" Teresa Duncan
