The Washington DC Write to Publish Group is unlike most writers’ groups which focus on critiquing each other’s work. Instead this group is dedicated to the "business side" of writing and educate authors (and would be authors) on what they can expect as they go from finished project to available for sale. Much of what I believe and will teach can be found online here: http://www.TheAuthorIncubator.com As a part of your membership, I offer monthly Q&A calls where you can ask any questions you have …
