    I've had the blessing of training directly with Tim Grahl and this class pulls all the basics together. Master these techniques and you've leveled up as professional writer. Why write a book and not get it to its readers? These are the tools that not only sell your book but get readers interested in reading YOUR book when they a million other choices. Worth the money.

    I took Tara Gentile and Tim Grahl's classes on creativelive.com and I followed their recommendations religiously. Between them, they took all the mystery out of writing and getting my book to market. It still took me four months and a dozen revisions, but I was never unsure about what I needed to do next. I could write a long article about narrating and sound engineering a version for audible.com, but I finally figured that out on my own. Now I am a published author. Yeah!!! amazon.com/author/jcampbell

    Loved it! A lot of great tips on what needs to be on your author page, even some helpful plugins for WordPress! Love the extras. Well worth it.

    This was my very first Creativelive class and it was amazing! In short it's the course I wish I took before self-publishing my first book. It covers all the basics and highlights all the mistakes you're most likely to make as a first time author or a serial writer. Everything you need to know about selling and marketing your book is in here. I've been recommending it to everyone interested in writing a book! Thank you Tim Grahl for a brilliant course.
