How Classes Help Reach Publication Goals
CLP understands that a lack of desire isn’t what stops you from publishing your book. It’s the law of diminishing motivation. Maintaining the same enthusiasm as you do from the start throughout the writing process can be challenging. That’s why we encourage you to consider signing up for our online classes, where you will have the support of other writers and a writing instructor to complete your content with a focus on capturing and keeping the interest of your target readers.
As we always say, you can’t publish what you don’t finish!
