April Randolph always dreamed of becoming an author. As a child she was the teacher’s pet, helping her fellow classmates with their grammar in Miss Collins’ second grade class. Today, she is an author of three books (fiction and non-fiction) who lives in Rochester, NY and spends her time helping others reach their goals of becoming an author. She is a fun-loving mom, blogger, continuing education teacher, and editor who, in her spare time, is either working on a written work, or helping someone else birth their own.
Join April for an engaging, entertaining learning experience, where she will delve into all things self-publishing. During your time together, you will learn and laugh and leave with an enlightened overview of this subject and a big dose of encouragement to help get you started.
There’s a story in all of us. Let April help you tell yours.
