Former Charlottesville resident Bella Stander will make her expertise available to Backspace members October 22-24. Membership in the Backspace forums is $30. For comparison purposes, consider that Bella’s workshops are usually held in NYC and LA, and cost around $500. If you’re an author who needs advice on publicity, $30 is pretty sweet!
(If you talk to Bella, tell her “Ciao” from me!)
October Guest Speaker
Publicity expert Bella Stander will conduct an online question and answer session with Backspace members at the discussion forums October 22 – 24.
