POD Radio, a GAP/ORP Merge, & F*ree Cookbooks!

These various items of interest came across my desk recently and so I thought I would pass them along:

POD RADIO COURSES:

Double Dragon's Newest Offering -- POD Radio courses! Listen to award-winning authors as they share secrets and know-how that helped them get published, sell books and build a reader base.

Recently, five published authors got together to create a series of audio classes for writers. After they recorded their first class, Double Dragon Publishing offered them contracts, and established a brand new imprint to produce a series of 30 audio classes!

The series will be moderated by Allyn Evans, founder of www.QueenPower.com and will be taught by: Carolyn Howard-Johnson, Kathe Gogolewski, Joyce Faulkner, and Marilyn Peake.

The series will include three categories: Writing, Technology related to writing, and Book Promotion. All classes will be available in both MP3 and CD formats.

The first audio class is FREE in MP3 format (and can also be purchased as a CD). The first audio class is Radio: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Promoting Easy and Cheap! The second audio class is available for purchase in both MP3 and CD formats and is the perfect holiday gift for the writer in your family! The course - Promote or Perish! The Greatest Myth of Publishing: Your Book Is Written, Now Let the Publisher Promote It - is now available at Double Dragon Publishing. Remaining classes will be recorded in 2006.
