$99.00
“This Query class was a gift not only to my career but to my spirit. As a writer who finds all things self-marketing to be anxiety-provoking, I appreciated Amy’s breaking down the intimidating process into a set of small, easily actionable steps. She is a generous teacher who inspires as well as she informs. This offering is a not-to-be-missed learning experience for writers at any stage of their careers.
