Super podcast !!!

This is got to be one of the best podcasts on promoting your writing selling and understanding how marketing works.
They have not lots of great authors and speakers to give you valuable insights into the writing world and the marketing world.
I’ve been listening from the start and I have enjoyed every episode I haven’t signed up for the courses yet but I will soon because I find the information that I get just from the Podcasts very valuable and I know the courses will be worth their weight in gold.
Read where guys keep it up!!!
