Introduction to Self-Publishing Masterclass

A free online workshop for your followers

Would your community benefit from knowing how to publish their own books?

Publishing a book independently is easier than ever.

But to the uninitiated it can still feel like a maze full of confusing and contradictory information and unfamiliar technology.

If your followers have a desire to share their stories and gifts, then publishing their own books is one of the best ways for them to get the word out about their work and their ideas.

The Introduction to Self-Publishing Masterclass

In this free 90 minute online workshop, we’ll begin by discussing:

how and why self-publishing differs from traditional publishing
the technology that makes self-publishing possible
what it costs to publish a book independently
what print-on-demand is and how it changed publishing forever
how independent authors can get their books into libraries and bookstores

Then we’ll dive deep and talk about…

the 3 distinct skills that a self-published author uses
the 3 ways to self-publish (and the advantages and disadvantages to each)
the steps taken to get from raw manuscript to published book
the elements of a self-published book, including cover files and formatted text
tips for book cover designs that attract readers
royalties; what are they and how they work
publishing ‘wide’ to many online retailers compared to publishing only with Amazon
the scams to avoid and the resources to use to avoid them

This workshop is designed for:

creatives who feel overwhelmed at the idea of publishing their own books
the creatively curious who are open to the possibilities offered by independent publishing
entrepreneurs who are looking for a new way to share their work with their followers
those with a PhD in life and a story to tell
helpers and healers of all shapes and sizes

Self-publishing makes the world a better place

Your followers will leave feeling inspired and empowered with:

An understanding of how self-publishing works
Ideas for steps they can take to start their publishing journey
My exclusive Self-Publishing Checklist, typically only offered to my clients

Additionally…

if they can’t make the live call, I will send them the recording
there will be 60 minutes of teaching followed by 30 minutes of Q&A where I’ll be happy to answer any and all questions about self-publishing

This workshop is the result of over 15 years of publishing experience

I’ve been writing and publishing my own books since 2008. My first book was an award-winning memoir about 10 years I spent in a cult in the 1990s. Since then there have been many delightful highs – like hitting the #1 spot on an Amazon best-seller list, and being featured in a documentary course about cults – and just as many challenges.

I’ve worked with some of the best in the self-publishing business, including Joanna Penn, and also with brand new authors, just about to publish their first book.

For all these years, I’ve witnessed the ebbs and flows of the publishing industry. What I know for sure is that among all the technological changes and the book marketing fads that come and go, there’s one thing that remains consistent and that really matters:

Writers want to write. Humans have an innate need to share their stories. And it is my passion to support that innate need and ensure that new authors publish safely and happily.

How it works

If you would like to host this workshop for your followers, the process looks something like this:

There’s no upsell…I promise

When you’re listening to a webinar or training online, you’re probably familiar with the feeling of knowing that the upsell is coming. You’re braced for it.

I’m happy to say that you won’t have that experience with this workshop. There will be no upsell at the end.

My intention is that providing this information to your community will result in a win-win-win situation.

Your community members who attend will win because they’ll walk away with loads of great information about self-publishing, an awareness of the scams to keep a watch out for, and the bonuses mentioned;
You will win because you’ll be providing your community with a good resource and helpful information about a subject they might be interested in; and
I will win because I’ll gain exposure to an audience I wouldn’t otherwise have met.
Plus your audience will get to know me a tiny bit and have a feeling for whether we’d be a good fit to work together in the future.
