Make 2010 The Year You
|
Hi! I’m Linda Sivertsen—an award-winning author, magazine editor, and NYTbestselling co-author—writing to you about YOUR book, and getting YOU published. In March of 2008, Forbes magazine reported that a book proposal I wrote for a client sold for SEVEN figures. Over the past 16 years, I’ve worked on hundreds of book proposals and books, and I can’t wait to share my insider secrets with you in my upcoming February Teleseminar--including tips, techniques, and strategies, along with real-life examples of proposals that sold to major publishers, and tons more!
I’ve made it my passion and life’s work to know what agents and editors are looking for, starting with my first client—myself. That first proposal sold in a unanimous vote at one of the world’s largest paperback publishers (the book went on to win an award and receive lots of national media/press coverage). My second proposal, written with a first-time author, sold after a huge bidding war for six figures (and the proposal then immediately sold in 12 countries). My track record for launching successful authors gets better every year.
“We call Linda the ‘Author Whisperer’ because of her seemingly magical ability to uncover the book in a person that wants to be written–often before they’ve even seen it. Like a midwife, she delivers a writer’s core message and brilliance onto the page, in the style agents, editors, and readers are searching for. I have witnessed Linda work her Author-Whisperer magic for years. There are very few people who can do what she does, and we’re always elated with her results!”
~Arielle Ford, best-selling author of The Soulmate Secret (HarperOne, 2009), and former publicist—whose clients have included twelve #1 NYT bestsellers: Deepak Chopra, Gary Zukav, Neale Donald Walsch, Marianne Williamson, Debbie Ford, Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield, etc.
Book proposals are the MUST-have business plan publishers need to review BEFORE they will offer you a non-fiction publishing deal or book advance.
Top agents and editors receive hundreds if not thousands of submissions a month, and don’t have time to read your whole book, no matter how perfectly executed. (This differs from the world of fiction books.) That’s why they insist upon a book proposal—outlining what your book is about, who your market and competition are, why you’re the best person to write it, and other key components.
Trouble is, many writers—even successful ones—are intimidated by the book proposal writing process (even though it’s a necessity for landing a non-fiction book deal), and fail to submit their best work. Some stall and watch as others race ahead to the marketplace with virtually the same ideas. It makes sense; most authors I know write books because they love losing themselves in their stories and/or teachings. They DO NOT, however, love marketing their writing, as book proposals require. Maybe you see a bit of yourself in this scenario? But what if you could safeguard your process? What if you had the guidance of an experienced insider? Someone who loves this stuff!
“Linda’s writing makes you stop, smile and remember your dreams. It will move you to action and inspire your soul, making you feel that you’re not alone. I see why people open up to her and why so many love her... I only wish I had read her work sooner." ~Tom Squitieri, USA Today |
Join me for my 4-week teleseminar, where I divulge the same secrets I used for my 6- & 7-figure proposals... EVERYTHING you need to know to write your own winning book proposal and land your publishing deal!

I asked for a mentor and I got a Guru...” |

My goal is to move you forward quickly. I’m here to demystify the process, hold your hand, and make this fun. I’ll give you the tools I’ve come to depend on myself after countless hours spent in the trenches. All the tools you need, straight to your phone, your computer and/or your MP3 player. You’ll follow along in the cozy comfort of your favorite chair.
In this course we’ll take a detailed, behind-the-scenes look into sections of winning proposals, and I’ll explain the reasons behind my choices. Case in point, you’ll get the actual hook page that helped launch first-time author Rhonda Britten into a frenzied bidding war, where 9 major NY publishers scrambled to outbid each other to buy her proposal, leading to a SIX-FIGURE, INTERNATIONAL DEAL with Dutton.
Proposals can seem daunting, and maybe that’s why you haven’t yet finished yours. If it’s fear that’s slowing you down, you’re not alone. That’s a topic I’ve written and thought a lot about, and this course will help you overcome those common fears.

“Fearless Living, the book, would not have been born without Linda Sivertsen’s loving guidance, thoughtful critiques and inspired writing… I couldn’t have done it without her.” ~Rhonda Britten, Fearless Living, Dutton. Rhonda & Linda’s proposal for Fearless Living sold for 6-figures after a 4-day bidding war, and then was published in 12 languages. The book helped kick start an Emmy-award-winning career (as a life coach on Starting Over), 3 other books, and lots of media, including an appearance on Oprah in 2008.

If it’s lack of time that’s keeping your ideas from seeing the light of white paper, you’re in good company there too. More than 80% of Americans say they want to publish, while only 2% do. They, like you, are busy/tired/overwhelmed. But in reality, there’s hardly ever a good time to write. Just like there’s hardly ever a good time to go back to school, change careers, have a baby, or train a puppy… but you still do those things! And your life’s never the same, right? You look back and think, “Thank God I did that!”
Some of the most celebrated authors of our time (think Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison) had young children and a full-time job and were relegated to writing at the “edges of the day.” But those stolen minutes add up.
When my son was young, I refused to let my dream of writing wait until I had free time. What free time? My answer to finding time was to TAKE it, steeling my own minutes and hours whenever I could, often before Tosh got up for school.
Instead of making me tired, my early morning writing “dates” blissed me out. I’d walk through our forest with a big old grin on my face, knowing that I was taking care of myself as never before. I almost felt guilty, as if I’d taken a lover or something. That’s what filling the creative well, so to speak, does—makes you walk around all goofy, like you’re head over heals in love (you are, with your creativity!). I was so energized that I felt fully caffeinated most of the time, without a drop of caffeine.
The key is my foolproof approach, which I developed while writing that first book and simultaneously raising Tosh, helping build an environmentally sustainable home from the earth up, and collecting water and kindling daily! Follow my guidelines, and you’ll learn how to be your most creative, energized, and most of all, productive self. You too could be one of those busy authors who looks up and realizes that you’ve just published another book!

“Linda heard me speak in front of a room full of cops, told me about the book she envisioned me writing, and then wrote my proposal, called a publisher and got me a publishing deal. Oh, yeah—then she cranked out my book in 12 weeks! All I can say is that I loved every minute of it, and can’t wait to work with her again!” ~Bobby Smith Ph.D, The Will to Survive: A Mental & Emotional Guide for Law Enforcement Professionals and the People Who Love Them |
Now is the time for you to invest in yourself and your creativity! Time goes by so quickly. It’ll be a year from now in 12 minutes! But seriously, do you want to look up at the end of this year and see that you’ve let another year slip through your fingers without fully committing to your book? Now is the time to make that dream happen and reap the benefits.
 |
“I was completely overwhelmed with the whole book proposal process … She broke it down into easy steps and gave me deadlines. After only a few hours over the phone, I knew that hiring Linda was the best investment I had ever made in myself! If not for her coaching, I’d probably still be sifting through the mounds of instructions on ‘how’ to write a book proposal.”~Sandy Grason, author of Journalution: Journaling to Awaken Your Inner Voice, Heal Your Life and Manifest Your Dreams, New World Library |

“…Linda’s changes were so astute, two weeks after she edited my material, I signed a contract with a prestigious New York literary agency. Since that time, whenever I need guidance on designing my website, outlining a speech, or brainstorming and/or editing for my latest book, Linda is the first person I call. She’s not only lightning fast in her brilliance, but has the most integrity of anyone I know. Linda Sivertsen is a Godsend!” ~Amelia Kinkade, world-renowned psychic & author of Straight From the Horse’s Mouth: How to Talk to Animals and Get Answers, hardbound, Crown/Random House/paperback, New World Library |

I’m giving away so much information, inspiration, motivation, and hard-core examples during this course that you might find yourself writing portions of your proposal while you listen. For those of you who love deadlines, I give you homework suggestions at the end of each session, making it easy for you to finish whole sections by filling in the blanks of my proposal template with your own text.
I’ve been blessed. Throughout my career, I’ve had the GREAT fortune to befriend, interview, and work with top agents, editors, and best-selling authors on many proposals and books… AND THESE ARE THE PEOPLE I’VE CONTACTED to share their insider tips with you for this course.
Top former literary publicist (and agent and author) Arielle Ford, explaining what ALL of her best-selling clients (from Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, and Wayne Dyer), have in common, and the top five ways in which writers can strengthen their platforms. International bestselling author Lou Paget, whose FIVE titles have sold 3,000,000 books in twenty-eight languages (starting with How To Be a Great Lover, Broadway Books) shares how her small seminar business grew to major attendance and media acclaim, and how she & her agent not only hit it off immediately, but have maintained their deep friendship through each book deal. And, I’m elated that my dear friend Elizabeth Rapoport is also sharing her hard-earned expertise! Betsy was a longtime executive editor at Random House and Scribners, and is now a busy freelance editor/writer/ghostwriter who I trust with my writing more than anyone in the industry. (Betsy and I love to bounce ideas off one another; even editors need editors!) She’s edited many best-selling authors like Martha Beck (O columnist), Dr. Dean Ornish, and Magic Johnson, and has written extensively, most recently co-authoring Queen Bee Moms and Kingpin Dads (with Rosalind Wiseman, optioned by Tina Fey). I’ve asked her to share the 3 most common mistakes rookie authors make in their proposals (and how you MUST avoid them!), and how to best spend your money (inexpensively and effectively) to give your book the most powerful promotion possible. As an editor who bought hundreds of books for publishing companies based on proposals, and as a freelancer who has created and sold them, Betsy shares a unique and invaluable perspective. |
Attracting agents & editors to you & your non-fiction book starts with winning them over right away, and then anticipating and answering all of their questions and concerns. You’ll understand their likes and dislikes, and start thinking like a marketing and publishing exec so that your proposal includes everything they’re looking for.
Armed with my coaching, the proposal template, my proposal for Lives Charmed, and other downloadable examples from sections of winning proposals, you’ll be able to complete a proposal on your own, quickly—without purchasing another thing!
Clients pay me $15,000, $20,000, and even $25,000 to help them write proposals that garner big money. Clients pay me $250 an hour to consult with them on their proposals & books—when I’m available. Because writing takes time, I’m often booked months, even a year in advance. My clients, some of whom had never done media before selling their book, have appeared on, among others: Oprah, the Today show, Good Morning America, PBS, Larry King, ABC News, and in the New York Times, USA Today, and top newspapers and magazines throughout the world.
I’m going to give you everything you need to know to do this for yourself, saving you serious time and money. You’ll be amazed at how your life changes with the release of a book with your name on it. Doors open. Recognition and credibility go way up. Fees catapult. Speaking contracts, media, and awards find you.
If you’re thinking… “Yeah, but I’m an unknown! People get 6- or 7-figures because they’re well known or famous. I can’t compete with that!” There’s no doubt that media recognition helps, but there’s a lot more to it…
The right proposal can thrust a first-time author into a hair-raising bidding war and result in big money. I’m going to give you downloadable examples that resulted in major sales.
The right proposal can catapult an “unknown” into the media as an expert, setting him or her up for lifelong career success! (Danielle, in the quote below, is one of those first-time authors who landed a 6-figure deal with her dream publisher, receiving a ton of international press.)
 |
“Linda’s book proposal tips were the most clear and concise advice I found amidst the sea of pitching how-to’s. She helped us craft a proposal that landed us with one of the most powerful literary agents in the business.” ~Danielle LaPorte, co-author of Style Statement, Little Brown & Co. April, ‘08 |
I want you to finish this course thinking like the industry leaders you want to align with. Top literary agents and editors at major publishing houses have desks and floors piled high with unread letters, proposals, and manuscripts. Just keeping up with their phone lists and emails feels like a marathon in itself. And that’s just the start. Deadlines and edits and acquisition and marketing meetings, auctions and negotiations and, well… countless other responsibilities, jam their schedules. It’s never ending.
So, who breaks through, stands out, and captures their attention? Who do they choose as “publish-worthy?”
-
Writers who know what they’re looking for and deliver.
-
Writers who follow the “rules,” while being fresh, innovative, and talented.
-
Writers whose stories grab them by the collar or add value to their life from the first read, moving and inspiring them to pick up the phone immediately!
-
YOU (with this tutorial)!
Despite their busy-ness, literary agents and publishers are literally waiting, even praying for you to show up (their very jobs depend on it), just as you’re hoping and praying for them to discover you! In other words, they need you as much as you need them, if not more so. It’s a total win-win!
“I am a writing teacher who needed to write a writing book, or so my clients told me, but it was never a reality for me until I met Linda. She made it easy to say yes to myself. She makes it easy to say yes to everything. Linda gives to me what I give to my clients. It is a great gift when someone comes along and offers to hold the space and then delivers more than they promised. With Linda, I feel that I can lean back and know that she will catch me if I fall. That’s her legacy. I am only one of many clients who feel held, taken care of, acknowledged, appreciated and cheered on by this profoundly intelligent and big-hearted soul.” ~Bruce Gelfand, award-winning playwright and poet, novelist, screenwriter, and writing coach. Bruce has been a contributor and script doctor on Academy-Award and Emmy-winning projects. |
Here’s a sample of the kind of insider information I’ll share with you on how to get editors and agents to leap at your proposal!...
One of the best techniques I’ve found for enticing them to read past the start of a proposal is through the use of early strong quotes or testimonials from reputable people in your field.
Why quotes? When people in your industry (and beyond) give you testimonials, they’re really giving you credibility, letting agents and publishers know that you’ve been “pre-screened.” There are many ways to do this that are so much easier than you’ve probably imagined. And, once you have one or two quotes, even if they’re from lesser-known authorities, I’ll show you how to leverage them for maximum impact to extend your reach—opening doors to interviews, radio, media, and so much more!
I can’t wait to share my top TEN ways for receiving powerful quotes/testimonials, like the one below. (Let it inspire you to think of “gurus” or “stars” to approach in your field.)…

Generation Green: The Ultimate Teen Guide to Living an Eco-Friendly Life is a book I recently wrote with my son, Tosh (currently in its fourth printing). Here we are at the BEA (Book Expo America), at our first book signing before our book was released by our publisher, Simon & Schuster. |
How happy do you think we were when Ed gave us this quote? Ed is a rock star of the green world, as you probably know, and we were elated to get his endorsement. Our publisher not only uses Ed’s quote in all of our marketing mailings, but it did as intended—helped schools notice and reach out to us. A middle school in Washington recently held a “Generation Green Graduation” and gave copies of our book to their entire graduating class. Who knows, Ed’s quote probably even have helped us recently win several prestigious magazine, writing, and parenting awards!
 |
Generation Green has won a major magazine parenting publishing award (the NAPPA Gold Award, one of the country’s most authoritative consumer awards), and was honored this past April by the Green Earth Book Awards at Salisbury University in Maine.

Want to hear me talk about attracting your own raving testimonials? Click here to listen to the clip. You’ll learn loads of my favorite tips on quote gathering in the audio downloads when you sign up, a few of which my client Bryan (below), used to hit home runs with his project, just days after learning my techniques…
“Linda rarely teaches, so I followed her advice to the letter, with incredible results. Within a week, I had an alliance with and a testimonial letter from the Boys & Girl’s Club of America, huge speaking dates set up, and my book and I were covered in a full-page newspaper cover story (and I don’t even have a publishing deal yet!). Linda makes you believe you can do anything, and then tells you how!” ~Bryan Andrews, The Molested Millionaire |
Generation Green started with a proposal that my agent and I threw together in 2 days! Do not try this at home, unless you’re given a you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me deadline like we were. (Hint… writing takes time, but nothing is impossible, especially with the proposal template, winning examples, and tutorial I’m about to give you.)
Our publisher keeps calling us with good news (without any pitching on our part). Aside from those awards/honors, here are just a few of the blessings that have come to Tosh and me and our little green book (the likes of which can come to you, too):
CNN radio (and other top national shows—like Leeza Gibbons’ “Hollywood Confidential”) interviewed us and gave us stellar endorsements, as did the Sierra Club (our favorite charity), and Teen Vogue, Seventeen Prom, and Family Circle—twice! The buzz led to an invitation from Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to speak to thousands of teens at the world’s largest environmental youth conference at the L.A. Convention Center.
We’re now in talks about everything from TV appearances, lucrative alliances with green corporate sponsors, and college speaking tours. Our options grow every day, as yours will, because we put ourselves in the game.
| “I engaged Linda to help me write a proposal for a new book. I found her to be a true pro and a gifted writer. Anyone seeking to work with one of the best needs to connect with her.” ~Robin Sharma, best-selling author of five books, including The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Harper Collins |

I’m excited to share my techniques with you. I won’t sugar-coat my advice. I’ll give it to you straight. While publishing has certainly been affected in these challenging economic times, I believe opportunities abound everywhere. Life is, at its core, abundant, and people thrive in all climates.
 |
“Linda Sivertsen is a blast to work with! Not only did we laugh all of the time, but after my proposal was finished, she walked me right into an incredible agent, who wanted to sign on September 11, 2001 of all days... when much of the country wasn’t even doing business. I had a publishing deal almost immediately thereafter, which Linda also helped choreograph. I highly recommend her work!” ~Nicholas C. Newmont, author of Newmerology: From Sex to Stocks, It’s All in the Numbers |
If you’re dreaming about it, there’s a way to receive, attract, manifest, and create your goals. I've written about the Law of Attraction in clients' books, and it seems to have worked over and over in my life and career. That said, I've also written that you have to be willing to do the necessary work. I hope I’m not the first one to tell you that the work part is non-negotiable. Ha!
I love digging in and doing what needs to be done. Step by step, those suckers add up! I’m still in awe when I glance over at the rows of finished books on my bookshelves that I helped give birth to. But in my case, the downside of all this writing (for proposals, books, and magazines) is that the deadlines have kept me busier than a one-armed paperhanger—for YEARS! I’ve been on a mission to be the best I could be in this business, both for myself, and for you—my clients. Why for you?
One of the biggest stressors of my career has been turning away 95% of the people who contact me for proposal help. There just aren’t enough people who do this work (although I’ve now met several, and we’ve all been frantic at times, calling each other about taking clients we don’t have time to help). I’ve been aching to find a way to teach my book proposal system to more than a few people at a time.
I’ve hoped and prayed about helping people, and maybe you’re one of them, finding yourself where I used to be—sitting at home, unconnected to anyone in publishing, and yet kept awake at night by the burning desire to write, with no idea where to turn, who to trust, or how to afford the help if and when it shows up.
Courses like this are the perfect forum! While I’ve never had the time, or felt that I could afford to take the time to teach my system to more than a handful of people before now, technology now makes it possible for me to share what I know to a larger group, while still being able to deliver on my other deadlines!
As they say… shift happens, and I’m so glad because it’s allowed me to share what I know with you! So, let’s rock the Casbah and your proposal together, shall we?
“…Collaboration with Linda is 100x better than working on your own. She inspired me more than anyone has in over a decade.” ~Elizabeth Lough, www.CinergyCreative.com, Longtime segment producer for Oprah, Extra, Disney & Discovery |

Do you still need this class if you’re planning to self-publish? Absolutely! I believe that nearly all non-fiction authors (including celebs) need a book proposal. I even encourage you to write a proposal if you think you might self-publish. Not only will you know if you can sell your idea in a traditional publishing deal after all (and if the money they offer is worth your time), but either way, you’ll have an organized blueprint for your book when you sit down to write it. And, later, just when you need it, you’ll have powerful sound bites and bio text and story arcs ready at your fingertips to use for media and other promotion- and platform-building opportunities. You’ll have it all mapped out ahead of time.
| “Even though I’m a best-selling author, I hate the process of writing. It is so lonely… Then I started working with Linda—a gift from God. With her, I am so stimulated, that the words flow from my mouth and she works her magic, and voilà! I’ve got beautiful text! The world’s most successful people are magnetized to her for a very simple reason: Linda brings out the best in everyone she touches.” ~Mimi Donaldson, international public speaker and best-selling author of Negotiating for Dummies |
If your book idea is whispering (or yelling!) in your ear, I believe this is your spirit wanting to express itself.
The man in the quote below is responsible for knocking me upside my head, in a yogic kind of way, about what my spirit “wanted.” Fifteen years ago, when we met, Guru Singh scared the bejesus out of me when he locked his blue eyes onto mine and without blinking for what felt like an hour, admonished me for not being a writer. “You’re hiding from your destiny,” he said, basically telling me I was wasting my meager little life. Gee, thanks.
|
“Linda Sivertsen is definitely one of the treasures in this world. Buried or not. Working with her is like working with yourself on the best day; it’s pure energy. She has no problem cutting straight to the chase and making it all seem possible. Then you are given the honesty and expertise that only she can combine. I am blessed to have her destiny connected to my project!” |
Once I started writing, I couldn’t stop. I was obsessed. I got an agent who was one of the leading proposal experts and had written the “bible” on the topic. He had assured me that my proposal should easily garner $50,000.
But the moment we’d get close to landing a publishing deal, it would fall through. I dug in and reworked and edited, learning and implementing every angle and technique I could. When I was sure it was fully “cooked” and ready to shop again, it sold in a rare unanimous vote to a huge publisher.
In other words, I learned this stuff the hard way so that you don’t have to!!!
 |
Once Lives Charmed was for sale in stores nationwide, and covered in newspapers and on CNN, NBC, and E! Entertainment Television, people began seeking me out for help. They wanted to get their project to my agent (getting an agent can be nearly as hard as getting a publisher), my publisher, even some of the celebrities profiled in the book. |
Wanting to help them, I’d review their writing before sending their work to my contacts. But, invariably, I’d see most making needless mistakes—taking their best hook and burying it on page 7, hesitance to blow their own horn (or the opposite—being embarrassingly grandiose), few marketing and PR angles, and so on. I’d tell my friends what I thought they needed to make for a stronger presentation, but they’d usually stare blankly ahead and ask, “Can I pay you to do it?”
That’s how I got so much practice!As my friends and clients began getting publishing deals, word of mouth spread, and the jobs and deals kept coming. That’s why I know I can help you! Chances are, I’ve been where you are, or my clients have.
 |
“Linda, I can’t thank you enough for the brilliant help and support you gave me on my book proposal… You offered great advice for changes that improved my proposal immensely. It had been languishing at publisher after publisher, but after the improvements you suggested, it sold right away. You are a gifted wise one.” ~Chellie Campbell, author of The Wealthy Spirit: Daily Affirmations for Financial Stress Reduction, Sourcebooks, and From Zero to Zillionaire, Sourcebooks

Think about how exciting your life will be when you honor your inner knowing… your voice… your unique message…
While creativity often happens in an instant, BIG plans (like a book) usually take time. So, it’s important to take action NOW—while you’re thinking about it. Before something else takes your attention away from your dreams!

People pay thousands of dollars for this type of tutorial when I can work with them between my demanding deadlines. After reviewing what I’ve put together for you, Internet and Marketing professionals have told me I should charge $2,000 for this package.
One thing that allows me to offer you this low price—at least for right now—is that rather than use resources to package and ship this program to you, you can download the worksheets and examples (all 200 of them!), and the audios without costly and wasteful packaging and shipping. As an environmentalist, that’s important to me. If you want to take it a step further, please consider listening to the audios anytime you like on your computer or mp3 player—without burning CDs—and perhaps printing the downloads on recycled or scratch paper, if and when you can. Every little bit makes a difference!
Now, back to you and your writing: Inspiration alone won’t thrust a moving pen into your hands. Action precedes motivation. Invest in yourself. Be your own Guru and give yourself permission to go for it!
Again, if you want to get started right away, without having to wait for our next class, click here to immediately download the latest 4-week course. Includes all the audios and materials you'll need.

“Linda Sivertsen is a champion for writers! Thankfully I hired her to review the finished manuscript for The Street Kid’s Guide to Having It All just before my publisher went to print. She suggested important changes that made the book much stronger, including finding a detail that could have been a legal nightmare. Linda’s got GREAT energy, GREAT intuition, GREAT heart, GREAT knowledge of publishing, and she’s fast!” ~John Assaraf, Author of the New York Times bestseller, The Street Kid’s Guide series, Longstreet Press |
  |
“Linda and I met as writers, which is sometimes hard to accomplish, given the solitary life of our profession. She was an immediate sister in words. But beyond that, she helped me. Being a published author was new to me, and Linda went out of her way to share a spectrum of excellent advice with a natural and abundant spirit. I would soon come to find that this is who Linda is/can't help not being. Helping writers is central to her spirit and explains why she extends her talent in this capacity so effortlessly--in championing their book proposals, and in creating inspiring writing retreats. She is as interested in your writing, as she is in hers. And that is rare. Linda Sivertsen is rare!” ~Laura Munson, best-selling author of This Is Not The Story You Think It Is (Putnam, Spring, 2010) |
Here’s to honoring the book inside of you. Here’s to making 2010 your most creative, fulfilling, and exciting year EVER! Here’s to finally scheduling your creative dreams already!
Thank you so much for spending your time here with me today. I look forward to meeting you in the class very soon!

I’m on a book deadline, so I’ll only have a few minutes, but if you’re on the fence and really can’t decide if this course is right for you, pick up the phone and give me and/or my assistant, Natalie, a call at 323-769-5153.
