Testimony: "The workshop put on by Mr. Charles Chatmon was amazing I learned new information as well as new websites to research. I got clarification on different aspects of the self publishing industry that were causing me some confusion. I liked that even though I was very close to publishing my book the information given was still applicable. There was never a point when I thought that the information did not meet my needs. All the information given was a walk through of every thing that a self published author needs to complete the task of self-publishing.  The information given on ISBN numbers and bar codes was a major help. I truly enjoyed the workshop. Although I published my first book I will for sure attend another workshop."
