I'm a writer-marketer veteran who specializes in developing new writers into bestseller-kind-of-writers, professional publishing, and explosive marketing.

HOW THE INTERNET CHANGED YOUR LIFE...

The Internet made it possible for YOU AND ME to compete with John Grisham, John Locke, and Steven King!!!

The advantages they had before the Internet became OUR ADVANTAGE TOO.

Money can't stop you.
Time can't stop you.
Know-how can't stop you. So, you can't afford not to for it. Use it.

My best,
Mratha tucker
