I was hoping to put it together as an online course this year… but I’ve not quite put it all together, yet. That’ll happen with a huge writing load. I will have written something like 9 books in 2020 (thanks for the downtime, coronavirus.)

I’ve also done quite a bit of consulting with authors on how to improve their books and/or get their book into print or republish books.
