I’m wondering where I can find from Thought to Sales in 90 days. I haven’t been able to find it online. I have a great idea for a romance novel, but no idea how to get it onto paper. I’m looking for a plan to efficiently do so. I’ve read a children’s book but I could never find anyone to look at the finished work. The getting published business is so overwhelming so I’d love some tips and hoping this program would help me with the process.
