And our third class is called Self Publishing Made Easy and is offered to answer all your questions about the self publishing industry. Empowerment also comes from taking action to get your writings out into the world, so we offer the following schedule to help you get started:

  • Following questions are answered at the beginning of the week:

  • How does text layout work?
  • What about the back cover of the book?
  • How do you get an ISBN, Library of Congress Number, Copyright?

Students have several days to take in all the above information and then come back with questions of their own. Questions can be to get further detail about the above or questions about subjects outside what is initially covered. Facilitator will answer questions within 24 to 48 hours. Again students have a day or two to follow up with more questions. Upon completion of the class, a certificate will be sent you to mark your participation.
