15-WEEK LIVE ONLINE
WORKSHOP SERIES
Have you often thought of writing a book yet do not know where to start?
Do those dirty writing doubts keep you from sitting down to write?
Do you wonder who would even want to read what you have to say?
If one or more of these thoughts have crossed your mind, guess what? You are only a few steps away from beginning to bring out the book in you! Believe it or not, these moments of hesitation are normal. I have a friend who has written 76 books who recently admitted to me that even she had these writing fears before starting her last book. And yes, so did I!
Twenty-five years and 10 books later, I finally have mastered the system for bringing out the books in me in an enjoyable and systematic way. Rather than having you and other authors in-the-making agonize over how to bring out the book in you, I have created a Live Online Series so that you, too can begin writing your book. And I will be with you the entire way….
So, stop talking about writing it and start walking the talk by learning the steps for bringing your book out in you!
Once you get the book you have always wanted to write in finished manuscript forms, I will be available for you through Part II of my Live Online Series which will walk you each step of the way for getting your book published. And once you complete the process of either making your book a reality through either a traditional publisher or by self-publishing, the fun will just be beginning. Part III of my Live Online Series is to walk you through the step-by-step process of How To Promote And Sell Your Book As Though Your Life Depends On It.
