What Students Are Saying:

• "Amazing course!! I'm learning a ton." - Jackie M
• "I love this course - super helpful and insightful! Thank you so much for all of this valuable information." – Michelle H
• "Having already completed the Rebel Memoir course, I knew that this one would have the same down-to-earth approach by Libby. As though being sat in a cafe with her chatting. What Libby delivers in this course, which I found very useful, was not only the amount of information and detail she gives about things like social media, publishing and so forth. But I also discovered how to approach certain institutions, such as Libraries, bookshops, which I had jotted down as areas needed to contact when self-publishing. I also learnt about online pitch events that I never even knew existed and now know how they work. Although some of Libby's examples, say for instance names of big stores, are ones in America, despite this and my living in the UK, the actual content of the advice is relevant so can be put to use here too. When Libby says she is there for you and to please get in touch with her on social media, her words are not false. I reached out after completing the Rebel Memoir course and I feel doing so has meant I have a great, genuine, contact within the writing community." – Penny W
