Hi Mark,
In 2014 after reviewing my first book, that you believed I was the ‘real deal’. I have completed my latest book, the sixth book and feel it is my strongest and best work. My problem is getting myself an agent, and marketing! Oh boy do I hate marketing.
Do you still read, review, and give your opinion as to how the book can be improved.
Hi Cynthia, I remember. 🙂 And sorry I’m slow getting back to you. Right after you posted your question, I had some website issues that caused me some problems. But now I’m back! All you have to do to register for an introductory coaching call with me is click here: http://thebestsellingauthor.com/coaching/intro-call/.
Have a great week!
– Mark
