and Promoting your Self Published Book

is lacking. Participants will complete self-assessing
questions to determine where they are in their plan
to get their work out into the world.

participants comfort level; whatever your level
of involvement you'll be encouraged to take advantage
of every relationship (business or personal) and
to use every encounter to market your book or project.
