WORKSHOPS
“THE CREAM OF THE CROP.”
Lissa Warren, author of
The Savvy Author's Guide to Book Publicity


“GIVES AUTHORS THE PLAIN-TALKING TRUTH THAT THEY NEED.”
Jacqueline Deval, publisher, Hearst Books;
author of Publicize Your Book!


No other publicity workshop offers as much individual attention and personal contact with a range of publishing professionals.
Bella Stander and top-notch publicists, media trainers and recently published authors provide real-world advice and tips in a lively and intimate forum. Class size is limited, so there is abundant opportunity for in-depth discussion.

Workshop participants receive an original “Book Promotion 101 Handbook” containing a wealth of detailed information -- including a marketing plan worksheet, sample press releases and a tipsheet on planning a book tour.

There is NO HYPE and no "upselling." Our goal is to help authors learn and be successful. See testimonials.
