The road to self-publishing is a tough road if you do it alone. Thanks for being here for us. KJ Ten Eyck What a wonderful class. So much information and I have self-pubbed before. I'm fine tuning my metadata and looking at so many new options. Again, an extremely valuable course and I'm glad I joined you. I'd take another class with you anytime.
