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.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson, founded Authors' Coalition because she felt writers should be doing more to help other writers.  Now, in conjunction with Allyn Evans, Joyce Faulkner, Kathe Gogolewski and Marilyn Peake, she will be deomstrating what the sharing of information is all about with a series of audio classes.

"Entertaining and fun!  That's how I have to describe the classes," explains moderator and QueenPower.com founder, Allyn Evans.  "Not only are our classes packed full of helpful information, but I end each call thinking I've just spent an hour with old friends." 

These 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 new imprint to produce a series of 30 audio classes! The series will be moderated by Evans, founder of www.QueenPower.com and will be taught by: Carolyn Howard-Johnson http://carolynhowardjohnson.com , Kathe Gogolewski http://www.TRI-Studio.com , Joyce Faulkner http://www.joycefaulkner.com , and Marilyn Peake http://www.marilynpeake.com.

Instructor Marilyn Peake responds, "I love doing these classes!  I feel like I'm chatting with good friends who really know how to discuss writing indepth.  I always feel so invigorated after each and every class, with my writing batteries completely recharged!"

Evans adds, "Besides having a blast, I have learned so much.  I must confess it's hard to scribble down notes while trying to moderate a show, but all four of our experienced writers have so much to share." 

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.
