Hi! In case we haven't met, I'm Tessa Smith McGovern. I’m an award-winning author who loves helping people write and publish. 

I've been a writing instructor for 26 years and have taught since 2011 for The Writing Institute at Sarah Lawrence College.  I have an MFA in Writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts.

I'm a talent scout for the Allen Literary Agency (Nonfiction) and Roz Foster of the Frances Goldin Literary Agency (fiction and memoir).

My books have been published traditionally by Sourcebooks Inc as well as independently. Both of my books were bestsellers in their categories on Amazon.

I know how to do this because I ran an award-wining digital press, and made my own two books Amazon bestsellers.
 
I can show you how to do it for your writing too.

This program will give you the confidence to know you can be in charge of your own destiny as an artist. 

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE WORKSHOP?
 
Simply show up to the Zoom webinar session and get ready to take notes and do short exercises.
 
I'll teach you how to use ChatGPT for marketing in a way that's absolutely thrilling!

Please Note: Learning these skills can be fun and so rewarding!

There's a reason authors like N. K. Jemisin take control of their platform even though they're traditionally published.

Writers have to take charge of our own writing careers so we aren't at the mercy of insufficient (or non-existent) PR support from a big-five traditional or small press traditional publisher.

And if you choose to publish independently, this is how you'll spread the word and make sales.

AND WHAT ELSE WILL THIS DO FOR YOU? 

1. You'll feel empowered knowing that you've got these skills in your toolbox.

2. You'll feel a new confidence in your writing career.

3. You'll know the satisfaction of applying a time-tested, professional system to the marketing of your stories - you'll use the same process professional writers are using. 

4. You'll become part of an elite group of writers with high-level skills (that make you attractive to traditional publishers) who know how to have fun and be effective on their publishing journey.

 
WHAT'S THE COST OF THE 12-MONTH PROGRAM?
 
This is a highly effective program.
 
Tuition is $97 per month.
 
That's justr $48.50 a session to develop a unique personal brand (that's readers can tell instantly is a human being, not a robot), a solid author platform, and a growing reader email list. 

You'll have the option of using AI to do the automated tasks that don't require your creativity. This will give you more time for your own writing.

You'll super-charge the soul-affirming journey of becoming the writer you long to be.

You'll continue to evolve into a more sophisticated craftsperson and artist.
