Classic Publishing 101

Detailed Steps to Becoming a Published Indie Writer

Detailed, step-by-step workshop on how to become a published indie writer.

A classic workshop, starting from the beginning and working through layout, covers, sales copy, promotion, business, and making a living.

This is a how-to class. We will tell you what you need to learn, teach much of it to you, tell you how to learn the rest and where to find even more information.

The world of indie publishing isn't so complex that it can't be learned. In fact, those of us in it take it for granted because to us it seems simple, right up to the point we try to explain it to someone.

This workshop is that explanation.

But mostly we are going to teach you how to get past your fears of publishing, the myths of publishing, the scams of publishing, and find real freedom in being able to write and publish what you want when you want.

And have readers find it and buy it.
