How would you like to learn the basics of writing, publishing and marketing--for free? Starting right now, and going through August 10th, 2011, the Author Summer School is in session. And there's no tuition.
During the week-long school, eighteen experts will share on topics vital to writers trying to finish books, deciding whether to pursue traditional or self-publishing, working on fiction or non-fiction topics.
Head to the Author Summer School page to see a list of the experts and the courses they'll teach. If you sign up, you'll first get an email inviting you to join the "Dean's List Club". The Dean's List does have a cost, and you are under no obligation to join. It gives users recordings of the sessions, and extra materials, but users of the free portion can access the sessions for 24 hours after the live class.
The second email will contain an orientation video, and links to each of the classes.
The classes included are:

Non-Fiction Bestseller's Formula: Here's How You Can Stand Out

The summer is a great time to learn, whether it's reading a book on craft, or taking a workshop or online course. How are you learning this summer?
Sounds cool. Going to look into it. Thx!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the extra materials and would it be worth the cost to pay for them?
ReplyDeleteHi Roz! You can see the extra materials at this link: http://www.authorsummerschool.com/upgrade/
ReplyDeleteIt costs either three payments of $59 (totalling $177), or one payment of $147. You'll want to read through the offerings to see if they're something you'd like.
