“5 Stars! With 130 separate lectures included in this course, including 5 books and 3 audio interviews, this course is one of the most comprehensive training courses I’ve come across for media training. And the fact that it’s geared specifically towards me and my readers (authors) is a huge bonus for me! I’m only 30% of the way through the material thus far, but I just had to write a post on my blog to share this course with my readers. They’re going to love what TJ has to teach them about effectively marketing themselves (and their books) to the media, and how to come across as a seasoned professional, even if it’s their first time in front of the camera. I highly recommend this course!” Tara R. Alemany
