Dmitry Zlotsky’s First Book Monster Hit Shelves April, 1 2010

Dmitry Zlotsky’s first book, Monster (Leapfrog Press) hits shelves April 1, 2010.

Dmitry took instructor Susan Shapiro‘s The Secrets Behind Writing and Publishing Your First Book and it completely caught him off-guard.

"The Mediabistro course was my first introduction into the world of publishing. Surprise is a mild word to describe my impression. It was on a scale of a first grader learning that his mother smoked. That’s pretty much how stunned I was. I thought I was a ready and desired product. My experience was sobering, but thanks to that course, I realized what I needed to change," he says.

Says Dmitry, "My instructor, Susan Shapiro, proved to be not only insightful during the class, but very helpful afterwards, as she answered my emails long after the course was over. I must say that it was a great decision to sign up for the Mediabistro class."
