Moreover, you'll learn enough typography to make your book look
professional.

is energy and smarts. Yours. Ken Guentert of The Publishing
Pro, LLC, will help you think about your book marketing from the ground up—so
you can direct your energy the right way and help your book succeed without
wasting thousands of dollars. Handouts.

president of The Publishing Pro, LLC.
