Book Author Series Number Two Concludes, Recap #1 & #2

This month we concluded the 2nd series of globinars featuring book authors at Global Chamber®. These members have been providing tips and techniques for writing your next book! Whether it's your first or 25th (for Lon Safko), we each can do better and be more effective this time, with help from the global tribe. By ourselves we can move forward quickly, but we go farther together!

These globinars were designed for those who …

• Have a general interest to one day be an author
• Have an absolute or moderate interest in writing a book
• Have a book somewhere in the process
• Already completed one or more books

There are many links below... enjoy!

AND this was SO INSPIRING to founder/CEO Doug Bruhnke, that he's now working with Cesar Trabanco on a new book by Global Chamber® Press! Watch for an announcement in the 1Q2022.

And since we're also meeting to talk about next steps with the Book Author Group, we'll be making announcements on that, too!
