Stress-Free Self-Publishing Crash Course
Learn how to publish your own book like a PRO in just 6 weeks!
Nearly all my first-time authors come to me with some level of overwhelm. They’re overwhelmed by the various options to self-publish a book, the sheer amount of conflicting information online about which of those options is best, or simply overwhelmed by the amount of work involved in publishing a professional quality book. There was even a time when that was me too… deer in headlights wondering how to get my book out into the world and not waste the years I spent writing it.
But over the years of working with hundreds of authors to publish hundreds of books, I developed a system of self-publishing that is reliable, consistent, repeatable, and most importantly easy to follow. And I want to share that system with you so that you too can become a successful self-published author.
Introducing the Stress-Free Self-Publishing Crash Course
A 6-week online training program that teaches you the exact method I use to publish my clients’ books.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if self-publishing is right for me?
If you’re not sure whether self-publishing is the right option for you and your book, may I suggest that you first take my FREE “Is Self-Publishing Right For Me?” Masterclass
How much time will I need to dedicate each week?
There will be 4-5 modules released each week. Each module will contain a 10–20-minute video, and several will also include worksheets for you to complete. There is also a live 1hr Q&A session every Friday of the course that I highly recommend you attend. All in all, you should look to set aside 3-4 hours a week for the duration that the course is live.
What support is available if I need extra help?
You will be able to post questions in the dedicated private Facebook group at any time during your course membership. The live Q&A sessions each week that the course is live is also there for you to ask questions and gain feedback on your book. You will also have access to schedule 1-to-1 coaching sessions with me at a discounted rate if you need more in-depth support.
What if I’ve not finished writing my book yet, can I still benefit from the course?
Of course you can! In fact, this course has been designed to teach you the process BEFORE you start publishing your book so that you have all the assets you need already in place. This is what makes this method so “Stress-Free”!
I’ve published a book before, but it didn’t do very well. Can this course help me improve the results I get from that book?
There are lots of authors out there who have published their first book on their own not knowing there was a better/easier way. This method can easily be applied to pre-existing publications to improve your books’ reach, visibility, appeal, and availability.
Why are there only 10 seats per course intake, and limited intakes per year?
This is to ensure that every student who enrols gets plenty of dedicated time to ask questions and discuss their book during the weekly live Q&A sessions.
