Why can’t I finish this book? What am I going to do with it when it’s done? Will anyone ever read it?

I’m tired of struggling, searching for the right tools and services, wondering how to the publishing process, how to make my book succeed, waiting to reach an audience who wants to read it. I know they’re out there.

Take the first step to getting your book out into the world

“A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit.”
― Richard Bach

How much more confident will you be when you know you are taking the right steps to publishing so well that you can self-publish or send your manuscript to an agent for a traditional publishing deal?

How confidence-inspiring would it be if you were certain about where your book fits into the marketplace?

Wouldn’t it be awesome to gather a tribe of early readers and stay connected with them for the long term, cultivating them from early readership to raving super-fans who give you five-star reviews and share your books by word of mouth and social media?

You can find your readers, publish your book, and enjoy a career as a published author.

Avoid mistakes and dead-end services

Maybe you’re just ing out or maybe you’re one of the many authors who have been discouraged by false s and broken promises. Lots of authors are attracted by the apparent ease of self-publishing, using free ISBNs and publishing too quickly or in the wrong categories, learning later that they should have waited.

Maybe you’ve made embarrassing mistakes by skipping important steps like editing and proofreading.

Maybe you’ve been trapped by a high-priced, unscrupulous vanity press whose promises never manifest.

It’s exhausting and demoralizing to make those kinds of mistakes. It’s frustrating to have to all over again.

You can avoid all this.

Self-publish or send your manuscript to an agent

You don’t have to go down these dead end roads because this course sets you on the path to freedom so you can publish with confidence and positivity. This course sets the foundation for your success as an independent author with a manuscript and platform set up for publishing any way you like: self-publishing, hybrid publishing, or attracting an agent and a traditional publishing deal. That’s right…

– You have the freedom to self-publish

– You have the freedom to be a hybrid author

– You have the freedom to choose an agent and a publishing deal

Start building your author platform now

Here’s a secret. Marketing actually begins in the manuscript preparation phase with market research and early readers who will help you with story development as you work on your book and with editors who help you perfect your final manuscript. Meanwhile, your author website converts site visitors to email list subscribers and you communicate with even more potential fans using social media.

Those early readers? They’re your marketing street team. Enthusiastic fans who will help spread the word about your book when it’s published.

The Self-Publishing Freedom Course will show you how to shift between your roles as author and publisher, positioning yourself for success with a quality manuscript and early marketing to build your platform and ready yourself for five star reviews.

Equip yourself with the know-how to do everything you need to do to ensure your freedom to self-publish or make a deal with an agent and a publishing house. Recruit early readers and cultivate them into super-fans, building your platform on the web, get your book the editing that will make it sell, and manage your own book identifiers so your book will never be trapped with an unscrupulous vanity press.

Self-publishing may be your final goal or a first step in your career as an independent author. There’s nothing to stop you from becoming a hybrid author who self-publishes some books and, for others, uses an agent to publish with the traditional publishing houses.
