Self-Publishing Workshop - Register Now!

The Writers League of Texas has asked me to teach a one day workshop on self-publishing on October 1, 2011 at St. Edward's University.  I'm so excited to help guide writers through the sometimes difficult waters of self-publication to create their own long-term plans to find success.  My goal is for each attendee to have a detailed action plan when they leave the workshop.

This is a one day workshop and it does have a fee.

Here is the class information as it is posted on the Writers League of Texas Website:
