Information on Xlibris

Becky wanted to share this information with us:

Greetings!

It was good to talk to you. I am happy that I was able to share information about our services to you. As promised, here’s a complete list of the services I offered you on the phone.

I introduced the NEW Professional package to you. Yes, based on all the information you shared with me about your book and your plans, it is indeed very beneficial for you to purchase our Professional package with all its new service inclusions.
