Our Books
Since Yvonne’s first published book, Dickless Marketing: Smart Marketing to Women Online, back in 2004, we’ve been helping others write, publish, and market books. And one of the ways we help is by writing and publishing some books of our own on topics relevant to authors.
This keeps us learning the latest book publishing tools and techniques, as well.
