Workshops
 

As of January, 2012, we will be holding online workshops through The Author Success Coach. Workshops by Deborah Riley-Magnus are listed below. This is our effort to answer authors' marketing concerns, as well as control the cost of gaining the skills they need to be successful.

All online workshops are one week long, Monday though Saturday and include five lessons and assignments. Workshops are done through a private emailing group until we can develop something here on The Author Success Coach website. Each student receives a FREE 10 Tools for Author Success handbook and a chance to win a free copy of Finding Author Success: Discovering and Uncovering the Marketing Power Within Your Manuscript or three hours of Free, one-on-one consulting.
