The Foglio Self-Publishing Masterclass is only 3 days away
The inaugural Foglio Self-Publishing Masterclass is happening this coming Monday, April 28, at 12 PM ET. If you’ve been thinking about publishing a book, you’ll want to join. We’ll be talking about editing, planning, cover design, typesetting, ebooks, validation, marketing your book, and so much more. There’s going to be a live Q&A where you can ask ANY questions you have related to bringing your book from manuscript to market.
And don’t worry if you’ve only just started writing your book, or if you have nothing more than a plan written on a cocktail napkin—I’d still encourage you to join. I’m going to be giving away a Publishing Guide and Workbook that you can use to plan your book and find your target audience before you even start writing.
Here’s a breakdown of everything we’ll cover in the Self-Publishing Masterclass:
