Learn How to Self-Publishing Your Book

With Step-by-Step Directions

"The class gave me the knowledge and the confidence to pick up my manuscript once again and re-engage with the publishing process. Thanks for sorting through so much of the misinformation that is out there on various social media sites."

—Chris Hill

If you plan on writing a book, are in the middle of writing, or have finished writing and you're ready to self-publish, this intensive course may be just what you are looking for.

At My Word Publishing, we help authors self-publish their books by navigating them through the process, from editing to marketing.

But, we also know that many authors want to be their own “self-publishing guide” and do it themselves.

We love DIY authors and understand the challenges of doing it all themselves. That’s why we’ve put together a 6-Week Self-Publishing Boot Camp to teach you how to professionally publish your book, and avoid the pitfalls and confusion the journey can bring!

Our 6-week course gives you step-by-step instructions covering the entire self-publishing process from what you need to consider when designing your book cover to deciding between KDP and Ingram Spark for distribution. See below for a detailed class outline.

"I thought I was familiar with the self-publishing process. This class showed me how much MORE there is to the process. I gained a new takeaway from every session!"

—Ty Payne
