Do you have a wonderful idea for a book? Have you written a collection of poetry? Self-publishing just may be your answer. However, the process of self-publishing can be both confusing and overwhelming. This class is designed to assist people in completing the self-publishing process. Using Createspace, which is affiliated with Amazon and Kindle, this class takes students through the process step-by-step. At the end of the course, students will create a sample text and receive a free electronic copy of Life and Struggles by the instructor. 

Please note: Students should have basic computer skills, as well as a manuscript idea.
