As a hybrid author, I have seen both sides of the publishing industry. It is important to know the ins and outs to make an informative decision on how you want to publish your manuscript and how you will be able to market it. In this class, learn what you need to know about self-publishing, traditional publishing, and begin to think about marketing your book once it's published.
