HAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...


A no-nonsense guide that demystifies the non-traditional publishing process. Carla and Lisa share experienced tips about how to create more demand and, ultimately, sales. Sam Barry and Kathi Kamen Goldmark, The Author Enablers

A great blueprint to get your first book started. It helps you set goals, develop a plan for design inside-and-out and even your promotion platform--all one step at a time. As a long time book coach with a related how to book, I applaud Carla and Lisa for a good model!
Judy Cullins

Lisa and Carla gave a comprehensive explanation of timelines, marketing strategy and materials, branding, print companies, distribution, ebook categories and their own experiences. I left the workshop inspired, feeling competent and up to the challenge to self-publish if I so choose.Deborah Santana

Your workshop  was so valuable to me in the design stages... Carolyn Jones


Lots of good information in the self-publishing workshop and, best of all, the workshop leaders practice what they preach. —Jack Shandle

I thoroughly enjoyed the October 4th Boot Camp at Fort Mason and have learned a ton about the publishing business that will definitely benefit me as I move towards publishing my book, Transition 120, and other works. —Paula Holland
 

A terrific way to organize your tasks and progress as you travel the path of self-publishing your book. If you are naturally organized it will clarify everything you need to do. If you are disorganized, it may help you stay on track. You’ll get a real sense of accomplishment as you use the opportunity to plan your publication with the help of experienced and trusted guides. And if you get motivated by checking off items from a list, you are really going to like this book. Read more. —Joel Friedlander,
The Book Designer
