Clare Connelly talks you through how she became a US and UK Amazon All-Star, while making a six figure income in her first year of self-publishing.

With our guidance, learn the market. Become familiar with the key concepts you'll need to grasp in order to self-publish with confidence.

Website, newsletter, social media, business approach - learn how to act like an author before you've published your first book.

What genre will you publish in? Are you going to publish narrow or wide? What about foreign translations, audio, boxsets? We will talk you through all the strategic decisions to be made.

We guide you through all the practical nitty gritty such as the blurb, cover design (a make or break), back and front matter, formatting, ISBN, pricing and more.

Self-publishing your book is not enough - you also need to make sure you books are 'findable', while also presenting a professional, "on-brand" image, from day one.

Getting your book into readers' hands requires a plan. We cover reader magnets, Facebook and Amazon ads, blog tours, list services (eg BookBub), signings, promotional materials and more.

One of the best ways to build buzz and get early feedback of your book (that you can use for promotional quotes) is to establish a support crew of readers in your genre. We'll teach you how!

It's time to launch your book, yippee! But first you must decide whether to offer pre-orders, to go wide or stick to one sales platform. We offer guidance on the promotional tools that will best ensure your book will fly off the shelves.
