In this class, you will learn both the joys and challenges, the why and how of self-publishing your own book. There are many steps and tasks and you will learn about each one: From ISBN numbers to analyzing the marketplace for your book, from preparing your manuscript to preparing your author head shot and perhaps most important--how to promote your book. You'll have a chance to mingle with others sharing the same aspirations and apprehensions and have a chance to ask questions from one who has undertaken this endeavor with success.
