Review summary

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their professionalism, encouragement, and genuine investment in helping them achieve their publishing goals. Many people highlight the exceptional service, noting how the team makes them feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Reviewers also appreciate the comprehensive support, resources, and coaching that guide them from idea to published book, often exceeding their expectations. However, some customers also noted that the service might be better suited for writers primarily seeking writing-focused encouragement rather than full-service publishing assistance. A few people mentioned dissatisfaction with the cover-design process and felt they received little insider guidance on creating a genre-appropriate cover. Some reviewers also experienced brief coaching calls where their coach seemed unfamiliar with their project.

They're legit. They helped me go from book idea to fully fledged fiction novel. They say 90-days but that's if you're full time and writing non-fiction. Fiction and part-time takes longer but it's wor... See more

"If you have the motivation to write, Self Publishing has the tools and support to keep you on track. This is a community of other authors who can help you through any aspect of your writing journey. I honestly wouldn't be able to do this without them."

Complete RIPOFF

Complete RIPOFF! My husband paid to have book published. Did not finish book and died four months later. This rip off outfit would not bother to even call back when I wanted a refund! I was told that "you should honour his memory and finish the book!" WTF?
Would not respond to Better Business Bureau. If this is the integrity....go elsewhere with your money!

SPS makes dreams for writers come true!

SPS, an online faith-based self-publishing school, took my hand and showed me how to fulfil a lifelong dream of publishing a book (in 2021). Now they are motivating me to complete my 2nd book, start a profitable business (during retirement) that will benefit a non-profit, and more! Shout out to SPS!

The AAL 2025 event was the best event ever!

Self-Publishing School was a total game-changer for me. I had a finished manuscript but zero clue what to do next—enter Chandler Bolt and his incredible team. With their coaching and support, I went from stuck and unsure to proudly holding a book that regularly hits the Amazon bestseller list in its category.
I can’t say enough good things. Amazing heart, amazing people.
This years AAL was over the top with helpful tips and useful strategies!

Amazing program to help writers become…

Amazing program to help writers become authors. Step by step programs, courses, coaching sessions (group and 1:1). The Author Advantage seminar was so informative and inspiring. Makes the writing process a lot less isolating - being a part of a community of writers is the best!

Knowledgeable, Experienced and Dynamic

I have been with SPS for more than five years. They helped me publish my first book in December 2020, and I am continuing to write and publish. I think enough of them that I just signed up for their Mastermind program. Knowledgeable, experienced, and dynamic.

SP Helped get 7 Books Published!

It has been great working with Selfpublishing.com and their entire team. I've published 2 non-fiction and 5 fiction books with them, with more on the way. Their focus is getting your book done and done right.

Blown Away

I was blown away by the clarity and impact of the live event's content. I came away knowing exactly what I am going to do in the next day, week, month, 90 days to bring my book to reality.
