Had doubts, not anymore!

I've had nothing but great interactions with everyone I've worked with from selfpublishing.com. When I was evaluating whether I wanted to do business with them, I struggled with the cost. I wondered whether I'd get the value. I'm only part way along my journey with them, and I already feel that I've gotten MORE value than what the cost was. And I'm very much looking forward to continuing to work with them!

Selfpublishing.com ROCKS !!! // Author Advantage Live

The Author Advantage Live! '25 event generated an amazing feeling of engagement on a Zoom screen. Team Chandler have a unique ability to make you feel like you are in the room; and consequently, generating incredible stickiness / staying power of the group. I rarely saw it dip below 200+ participants. I've been on tons of Zoom events, this one truly rocked it. I have actionable takeaways!

More information regarding sessions

More information regarding sessions, content, and breaks. I have a full-time job and only did a book on the side. Not all sessions were helpful if one does not have a business with their book and it would have been nice to have been able to plan accordingly for time management.

They're legit

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 worth having experts guide you, coach you, and the accountability of fellow authors in the writing rooms.

Deeply Disappointed

Deeply Disappointed — Overpriced and Overpromised

I invested a significant amount of money in this self-publishing company, only to receive what felt like a DIY experience with a luxury price tag. Most of what I “learned” could have been found for free on YouTube. My assigned coach was visibly annoyed anytime I asked questions — and I wasn’t the only author who felt that way.

For a company that puts its name on your book, I expected real support: guidance, feedback, even a basic review of the

I started with an idea

I started with an idea, but with my coach's advice, I realized that my plan for a single fictional novel could become a series. Connecting with other authors and listening to their experiences in our group was very helpful. Now, after 18 months, I am releasing book number three. Thank you, SelfPublishing.com, for the step-by-step guidance. And more books are on the way.
