Are you interested in self-publishing  your book but don't want to do it alone? I've got you covered. DIY Publishing School from October 20-November 17, guides you step-by-step through the process of self-publishing your book. 

​

During this 4-week course, I will share with you my decades of experience and will guide you through the steps of successfully self-publishing your book.

​

We will meet once a week via Zoom where I will teach a specific aspect of self-publishing and answer your questions. There will be weekly assignments. I will be available for questions throughout the entire course.

​

As the course unfolds, there will be opportunities to get constructive critique and feedback from me and other students on the assignments, which will include creating a plan/checklist for self-publishing your book, create an effective cover, write an intriguing book description, create accounts on the different ebook and print platforms, format your book, create a marketing plan and create a strategic long-term plan. At the end of your course, your book will be ready to publish and you will have a marketing plan to get your book into the hands of readers. 

​

• Understanding of how self-publishing works

• A complete (or nearly completed) cover

• Book Description
