Just Starting? Need to Brush Up for a New Project?

....Found in my mailbox so this comes to you with a HT [initialism for "Hat Tip" among professionals!] to both Winning Writers and Ingram Spark. This course seems to be available to any writer looking to start a new publishing career or learn even more about the one they’re already knee-deep in!  Yes, I borrowed it.  [That “HT” might also mean “Heard Through.”  I haven’t taken the course myself, but if you do, I’d welcome a review to post on my The New Book Review blog, with your byline and a nice creditline and links about your own books or current author-related project! Find the submission guidelines in the tags near the top of the home page at  https://thenewbookreview.blogspot.com.
