  You only get one chance to make a first impression. Make it a moon shot.

  We'll talk about when you should start your marketing campaign and how to build your marketing plan.

  How did your last book launch go? Are you prepared for your first book launch?

  Bio

  Author, editor, and wild spirit Penn Wallace will lead the workshop. Penn has published fifteen books, some with great launch success and some, not so much. He has learned the hard way and spent lots of money learning what not to do. He wants to share that hard-earned knowledge with you to streamline your launch process.
