Self-Publishing Talk by Michael McGovern
Saturday 10th October, 12pm
Author Michael McGovern will discuss his story and the self-publishing process. Be empowered and excited to publish something of your own.

Michael McGovern is a 77 year old retired Sales person who only attended the College of Life but has always been a good talker and used that asset to enjoy a career in Sales. This is one of the reasons why he feels that good communication/social skills are very important, and why he wrote a book about the lost art of conversation.
