Publishing 101 starts Tuesday—last chance to join
|
Hi Reader, Publishing 101 begins this Tuesday, January 20 and, just a heads up, I won't be opening enrollment again until next year. If you're working on a memoir, novel, or any fiction or nonfiction book, and you want to finish it with confidence and professional publishing standards, this is the moment to join. Publishing 101 is designed to support you while you draft or revise, so publishing decisions don't become a confusing slog after your manuscript is finished. This program isn't about rushing or pushing you down a single path. It's about understanding what publishable books actually require, making smart decisions early, and avoiding the common (and costly) mistakes that trip up so many authors later. Your story doesn't have to be perfect—it needs to be honest, well-shaped, and guided with care. Over the five years I've been teaching this program, authors consistently tell me they finish with real clarity: a complete publishing plan, confidence in their next steps, and a strong sense of readiness for what comes after the manuscript—transforming overwhelm into focus and momentum. We start Tuesday. Enroll here → I'd love to have you with us. Warmly, P.S. You can directly enroll here. If you have questions — about the program, your project, or publishing in general — just hit reply. I’m always happy to talk it through. |
