Self-publishing

Here you'll find the self-publishing help you need. 
My first two books were published by an Indie publishing house.  I found that experienced so distasteful I went to self-publishing.  Since then, I self-published more than 20 books, both fiction and nonfiction.  I also lecture on self-publishing and have written books on the subject.

Imagine having an experienced, self-published author direct your every step for both the publishing and marketing components of the project

Many self-publishing authors don’t consider marketing until after the book is published.   This approach is wrong.  Publishing and marketing are two parts of a single project.  This course provides the student with an integrated project plan that will both publish the book and marketing it.
