Coaching
We partner each aspiring author with a bestselling, experienced author as a personal coach to provide you with customized strategic support.
1-on-1 Coaching
Over 2 Million new books were published in 2022. Every single one of them is unique, and yours is no different. With 2 one-on-one coaching calls, our coaches will help you identify best selling books in your sub-genre, ensure your cover is well positioned to sell, and coach you through developing your launch strategy. A fiction book's success depends not just on being a well written book, but also being well positioned for success with cover design, SEO, and more. Our coaches will help you get it right.

Book Production
We handle 100% of the cover design and formatting to ensure your book is beautiful, inside and out. You will work collaboratively with our design team to make sure we end with a design tailored to your ideal target market.
Book Cover Design
You've been lied to all these years. The truth is: yes, people do judge a book by its cover, especially in fiction. If your cover doesn't meet genre expectations, it will not capture the attention of future raving fans. That's the harsh reality we're here to help you through. You’ll work with your coach and our design team to create a cover that not only attracts your ideal reader, but one that is created based on genre research so your sales last beyond your book launch.
Professional Formatting
Formatting is the final stage in the book-production process and having a well-formatted book is critical to becoming a bestselling author! Paperback formatting is very different than Kindle, as well as hardcover. With fiction, you need to have all three versions available. Our professional design team will format your book for digital and print while ensuring your book’s look and feel is the highest quality, inside and out.

Publishing
The beauty of selfpublishing.com is that you get all of the benefits of traditional publishing, without the strings attached. We handle all of the publishing logistics on your behalf, with you maintaining 100% of the rights, royalties, and creative freedom.
Uploading to Amazon
The Amazon publishing process can be confusing, with the technical aspects shifting as the company updates their websites and processes. This is why we’ll handle the technical details by uploading your book directly (through your account), ensuring it gets approved, and the listing is completely accurate. The best part? You keep 100% of your rights and royalties. You also retain full ownership and control over your content, pricing, and marketing strategies.
Categories, Keywords, & Book Description
In fiction, getting your category and keywords wrong can mean the difference between a thriving full-time author career and not selling a single book—no matter how great your cover or the story are. We're not speaking dramatically, we're speaking from experience. Our team will pinpoint the best categories based on your Tier-1s, analyze search volume, and measure category competition.
Worldwide Book Distribution
We’ll set up worldwide distribution on your behalf and ensure your book is available through Amazon’s KDP platform and everywhere Amazon sells. This includes ebook distribution and Amazon’s print-on-demand feature, which doesn’t require you to manage fulfillment or inventory management. Someone buys, and Amazon prints and ships it. All you'll need to do is check your daily “books sold” amount as it continues to increase.

“The call gave confidence and energy to do something I didn't think I was capable of doing. Imagine going through your life, always thinking, I should write a book about my experiences but never having the courage and belief that you could. Suddenly, someone believes in you, provides direction, and honestly tells you that you are capable.”
STEPHEN VIEIRA
“The call I had just made it real for me that I could really get my book published. I had been “trying” to write and finish my book but was stuck in this perpetual loop of editing, changing, doubting and losing motivation as a result. I didn't see the full picture of how my book fit into the business I was trying to build so I would fizzle out and stop. But it all came together when I had my first phone call with Nate and then my subsequent coaching calls with Kerk. I was all in.”
RANIA KORT
“Just before my first call with SelfPublishing.com I was SO nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I learned that I could actually do it…make my dream come true of writing a book and getting it published! I will forever be grateful to SelfPublishing.com for the gift of becoming an author!”

Author of the 'Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries' series
“Before SelfPublishing.com, I published a book through Lulu. The book on Lulu never sold a copy because I had no idea what to do once it was published. My experience with SelfPublishing.com and Ramy was hugely better. People are impressed with my new found position as ‘selling author'. I'm proud of having #1 best sellers on occasions and books in the upper reaches of Amazon's lists.”
Kathryn LeBlanc
Author of the 'Quilting Cozy Mysteries' series
“Prior to SelfPublishing.com I had zero experience writing or publishing. My coach challenged me to write my first cozy mystery rough draft in six weeks…and I DID! That book (Sewing Suspicion) stood in the top three in my Amazon category for just over nine months. Sewing Suspicion has received an Indie book award and it has launched my career as a successful full time author.“

“So many bits of pieces of wisdom that RE Vance has shared over all the calls – AND MORE – are pulled together in a great program. The videos are concise, well-organized. There are PDF transcripts for those of us who sometimes need to ‘see' the text rather than hear the words. Very helpful. If you are looking for gold, here it is!”

“I did that whole process of shooting letters our to agents and publishers. And it was just like the most soul crushing thing. Here, we're going to skip all the BS and go straight to the meat and potatoes. And if you're actually dedicating yourself, putting the time into it, you're going to be able to get pretty far.”
Nola Li Barr
Author of the Skyline Mansion series
“One of the biggest things I worried about when I joined SelfPublishing.com was monetary. It’s a lot of money to invest in yourself without knowing what you’re going to get out of it. And I have to say it’s probably the best investment I’ve ever made in myself. And I’ve gone through a PhD, I’ve gone through multiple jobs, I’ve gone through multiple industries. It’s the best investment I’ve ever done for myself.”
Ashley Emma
Author of the 'Covert Police Detectives Unit' Series
“One of the best choices I've made was to join Selfpublishing.com. I've published 5 books with them – all of my books have been bestsellers and my most recent has brought in over $25,000 worth of business in the first four months. Self publishing was the best choice I've made for my career.”

“I started to write a book six or seven years ago and it just sat in my drawer. I didn’t know what to do with it or how to publish it, and then I discovered SelfPublishing.com. I published and hit 10,000 units sold.”
