Comments from a Self-Publishing Made Easy attendee...

"One of the best sessions that I attended was by Valerie J. Lewis Coleman who is an author, editor, and publisher. Valerie's session, Self-Publishing Made Easy Cash Machine, was fast paced and delved into many of the aspects of self-publishing.  Valerie was funny, informative and a "trial by fire" expert in the area of self-publishing."

~ Jackie Harper of Free is My Life
