Authors we are in our last week before our mini conference kicks off on May 7th with Crystal Caudill’s session on how to plot an attention grabbing magnet reader. Followed by my session on how to use Canva as on author on May 9th. Then ending with Misty M. Beller’s session on May 11th on how to build an email list full of avid readers.

The trainer follows each session with a one-hour work session. Ask questions and get feedback on your own writing project. These sessions have a limited number of slots. Currently, we have 7 seats left for each of these work sessions.

The training sessions are $17, and the work sessions are $47. Your $17 ticket will grant you access to the recording for 3 months after the training. So, even if you cannot join us live, you can access the valuable training information on your own time.
