Self-Publish Your Book
Not too many years ago, writers needed an agent and a publisher to (eventually) see their book in print. Today, you can bypass the gatekeepers, publish your own work on your own schedule, and keep a larger portion of the profits! This course focuses on self-publishing via Amazon, but much of the information will apply to publication on any platform or in any genre. Students who do the work will be able to self-publish a book at the end of this workshop series. Includes a class forum for interaction between classes.
