Online Class: Publish Your Words
|  | | | When learning a new business or trade, the apprentice always starts with the small jobs. For example: A beginner auto mechanic might start with an oil change, not overhauling a transmission. The same approach applies with book publishing. Publish Your Words teaches you how to publish a 4 - 48 page eBook, chapbook, or newsletter. Learn your strengths and weaknesses after publishing two or three mini reads, then move on to your big project. Accept no more rejections. Publish your words from the comfort of your home computer, with the help of 98+ web links, example homework from previous students, class forums, exclusive interviews and more.
