I am currently teaching all 4 of my online courses, PLUS I\u2019m working with clients on some fascinating projects. I\u2019m a happy teacher this month. And you could be a happy student. There\u2019s still time to jump in on some of the online (email) courses I\u2019m teaching. <\/p>\n
Article-Writing Course<\/strong> What are my credentials for teaching this course? I have been writing articles for publication for over 35 years (and still do). I made my living writing articles for magazines for about 20 years. My articles have appeared in Woman\u2019s Own, The Artist\u2019s Magazine, Cat Fancy, Your Health, The Toastmaster, Los Angeles Times, Catholic Digest, Writer\u2019s Digest, PMA Independent, American Health for Women, Country Woman <\/em>and hundreds of other magazines. I\u2019m also the author of A Writer\u2019s Guide to Magazine Articles <\/em>(Matilija Press).<\/p>\n Book Promotion Workshop<\/strong> As for my qualifications to teach this course, well, I\u2019ve been promoting my own traditionally published and self-published books for about 30 years. I\u2019ve experienced a wide variety of promotional activities and I\u2019ve learned which ones can be successful for which book types. I travel around and present workshops and seminars on book promotion. And I have been invited to teach two sessions on book promotion at the IBPA Publishing University in May, 2009 in New York City!<\/p>\n Self-Publishing Workshop<\/strong> I established my publishing company, Matilija Press, in 1983, before it was fashionable. I have self-published several of my own books and have walked many clients through the process of self-publishing, as well. My book, The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book<\/em>, includes a complete guide to self-publishing along with a self-publishing timeline.<\/p>\n
