Course Overview

Writing a book can be a daunting, confusing and lonely experience. There is the content and structure to consider and the flow of the story to master. That's before you even get to the rewrites. There will be times you want to give up and times you have no idea what you are writing and why. 

​

If you have achieved writing your book, congratulations! You have labored over your manuscript for months, possibly years, and finally you feel it is ready to be published. Do you self-publish or submit to traditional publishers? What are traditional publishers looking for? How do you self-publish?  There is a synopsis to be written and a cover to be designed. There is the back blurb and then there is marketing and promoting.

​

Your book is published. It is online ready for readers to buy but sales are slow. You may be unsure of who your target audience is or are struggling to meet them. Level three of this course, promote, gives you the skills to promote your book and engage with potential readers. 

​
