Debra Parmley is a multi-genre author first published in 2008. She has been teaching on panels and in workshops since 2009 and was the radio show host for Book Lights, part of Readers Entertainment on Blog Talk Radio for a year and a half.
In her first class on Udemy, Debra teaches authors how to overcome the fear of radio, TV, and podcast interviews, and how to relax and enjoy your interview while promoting your book.
After a long hospitalization in the summer of 2023 and with an inoperable blood clot in her brain, Debra was left unable to board a plane or drive to events on the ground. For the first few months, she wasn't able to read, and could only listen to audiobooks and audio content online.
She decided start putting her class content online. This is the first of those classes and it will be free until she can get some better videos filmed and loaded. In the meantime, she hopes the info here will help authors.
Oct. 2024, the inoperable blood clot was finally gone and in Dec. 2024 the neurologist saw no signs of a stroke in her brain, only some scar tissue. She is a disabled author, still going to Neural PT two times a week to build new neurological pathways in her brain.
As time allows she will work on updating this class, adding new and current content.
