If the thought of “promoting yourself” makes you want to hide under your desk, this class is for you. Join Amy Collins for a 90-minute session on how authors can market their books without hype, hard sells, or awkwardness. You’ll learn how to genuinely connect with readers, get reviews and blurbs, build your online presence, and make marketing feel like part of the writing life—not a dreaded chore. Whether you’re indie or traditionally published, you’ll walk away with real tools, clear strategies, and a plan that actually feels doable. No pushiness. No shame. Just smart, effective book marketing that won’t make you cringe

I finally had the opportunity to watch the marketing class that I missed last week, and it was fantastic! I’m really sorry I didn’t get to catch it in person (work emergency that I couldn’t get out of).  You have an engaging style of instruction and I can tell that you are passionate about helping people. It also helped that the information you shared was exactly what I was looking for! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for your other courses. 
 
Thanks again, J.J. Poret

Feedback From Our Students:

Foreign Rights Class

You have been an absolute master mentor to us unfamiliar with the ins and outs of the publishing industry. You were always there to enlighten us on various topics, always ready to help and respond to any questions. Your guidance was invaluable in getting us to start sending out e-mails to publishers world-wide, and you always seemed to have the answer to any queries and more than willing to share the knowledge with us. Thank you so much for all your help,

Synopsis Class

Today’s synopsis class was amazing. Incredibly hands-on and helpful, and everyone walked away significantly closer to having a strong synopsis for their project. Amy, you were SO generous with your time, giving participants extra time to work on their first drafts and answering every single question thoughtfully. I don’t know where you get your energy!

Marketing Class

This class was a gift not only to my career but to my spirit. As a writer who finds pitching and promoting myself anxiety-provoking, I appreciated Amy’s breaking down the intimidating into a plan of small, easily actionable steps. She is a generous teacher who inspires as well as she informs.
