Even if you just have an idea for a book, this class is crucial in understanding the publishing industry with the most up-to-date information. I met my future literary agent and publisher of my first children’s book, The Last Tamale, in this class! 🙌🏼🫔🥳🎉

There's still room in my exciting online 5-week Sell Your Book class Monday 9/23 covering fiction, nonfiction& kid lit. You don't need to have a book finished. One student last year came with a few ideas and left with a book deal. Thanks for helping me spread the word!
