Write Publish & Market Your Book – new classes, new online community too!

“I absolutely loved taking this class.  Andrea Foster has a strong concern for her students and their success.  Taking this class has been one of the best decisions I’ve made with regard to my professional development.”

“I loved this course, and the teacher is super.  I now have two books in print and two more ready to go because of her help and knowledge.”

“She is so knowledgeable, and I appreciate the individual attention.”

“Andrea did an absolutely fantastic job!  She was very well prepared and her experience, depth of knowledge, and passion for teaching the class were clear every single class.  She provided excellent research materials and practical ways for new writers to become published authors.  I’d attend any future class she teaches!”

These are some of the things my students have written about my WRITE PUBLISH & MARKET YOUR BOOK classes.  I have also been told by a marketing person that only ONE of my sessions was like having a fire hose (of ideas) turned on her!  Still others have said, “why spend $300 on a conference when I can spend $19 for a class that covers everything and so much more?” To be fair, that $19 is the senior/veteran’s discount, but full price of the class is $99. (for 24 hours/8weeks of 3-hour classes)

I was in the book business a LOONNG time doing everything from writing, editing, marketing, and every other aspect of publishing there is.  I got the goods!  Please join us for a cheap, fun, and worthwhile experience at CVTech!  You know you have wanted to publish your book.  Let’s do it!!!  As they said, I love to help!

Cheers! Andrea Foster aka The Booklady
