Self-Publishing Boot Camp & Guerilla Marketing Tips at the Central Coast Writers Conference
This is mostly the same Self-Publishing Boot Camp but held at the Central Coast Writers Conference at Cuesta College, and it is subsidized by Chevron - which makes it a great deal at $62 before Sept 11, $72 after. They are redoing their website so please register by phone only. (805) 546-3132. My "Self Publishing Boot Camp Guide for Authors" is included.
