I haven’t taken her course using Affinity Publisher, but her free download for signing up to the email list looks excellent. I used Affinity Designer to make my most recent cover and am working my way into Affinity Publisher. Middle grade is a bit easier because we don’t always have to have all the illustrations. (Of course, we want them anyway!) There was a great half-price deal on the Affinity packages in March. Right now, they cost 54.99 Euro which is about $65. Or maybe your $100 estimate was if you bought more than one module?
