Vacation writing inspiration | From the blog of Nicholas C. Rossis, author of science fiction, the Pearseus epic fantasy series and children's booksAfter a short break, I’m back with news of several publishing courses now available for only $10.99 (down from as high as $200)! If, like me, you’ve attended any Udemy courses in the past, you will surely have heard of the New Year Resolution offer they’re currently running, lasting until the 11th.

Dave Chesson (aka Kindlepreneur) has kindly compiled the best of the writing courses on offer into a super-helpful post. From writing to productivity tips to marketing, you can find out more on his blog!

Become a Book Launch Gladiator:

How to go from Newbie Author to Bestseller

Book Launch Gladiator course | From the blog of Nicholas C. Rossis, author of science fiction, the Pearseus epic fantasy series and children's booksIf Udemy’s courses are not enough for you, how about a great new course by Jordan Ring, aimed specifically at people struggling with their book.

The major parts of the course are:

  1. Course Intro and Basic Questions Answered
  2. Pre-Launch Phase and setting up your book for success
  3. Review How to
  4. Launch Week
  5. Post-Launch Strategies

The course is presented as a series of short (up to 5′) videos with links and extra material available to download. It is an A-Z aimed at anyone wishing to promote their book and covers everything from finding the right title for your book to pricing it, choosing the best Amazon category, organizing its launch, finding reviews, organizing giveaways, using social media, building your platform and much more! Jordan is a confident guide who will be offering his course for $149 (down from $299). Although this is steep, I found it covered material from a dozen Udemy courses, potentially making it a worthwhile investment.
