The Self-publishing Plan is a comprehensive, user-friendly guide created to help independent authors navigate the often complex world of self-publishing without falling prey to scams or misinformation. This plan streamlines the publishing process by breaking it down into 10 actionable steps, making tasks like crafting compelling book descriptions, building an author platform, and securing book reviews straightforward and achievable for newcomers. Whether you’re publishing fiction or non-fiction, the plan includes essential strategies for manuscript preparation, professional editing, and effective book marketing—all tailored to maximize visibility and reader engagement.
Designed for those willing to dedicate time and energy, the plan typically takes a minimum of three months to execute, though individual timelines may vary based on experience and resources. With step-by-step checklists, marketing guides, and tips for pricing, distribution, and promotional activities, the plan equips authors to not only publish their manuscripts but also successfully launch and promote their books to the target audience. If you’d prefer assistance, a publishing partner service is available to manage the process for you. The Self-publishing Plan empowers authors to take control of their publishing journey, build a professional presence, and connect with readers—setting the stage for long-term success in the book marketplace.
