Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company.

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.

Some reviewers also experienced brief coaching calls where their coach seemed unfamiliar with their project.

It was what I needed!

It was so awesome. This course with self publishing school was everything I needed. I was 19 years old and all I did was follow every step they told me to do. I did intimidating things that I never could have done except with them teaching me one step at a time. Chandler would say "don't skip ahead - just do the next step" it was powerful, it worked, and I finished my book like that. I now have 5 books that were all at one time Amazon best sellers and I make about $10k every year.

Gentle accountability

Even though life happens and I don’t get my book done as soon as I’d like, SPS still reaches out with real people willing to give me a conversation that ends with hope, direction, and more motivation to keep me working on my book. I appreciate that accountability.

Slow but Determined!

This has been quite a journey. I've been "writing" my book for over 30 years but never really thought I was good enough to even try and do it. When I found, prayed about, then decided to work with SPS, I gained a sense of confidence, direction, and most importantly, validation. I can't wait to see how this turns out!

Huge help for publishing my book!

Chandler and the whole Self-Publishing and crew helped me to get my first book published and they were rock stars! They walked me through each step and didn't judge but encouraged me when I hit writer's block. They offer so many valuable resources. I couldn't imagine writing my book without them!!

Don't trust them…

I recently bought a course from them and due to a glitch in their site I bought it twice. I contacted them about it and they claimed it was a phantom charge on my end and they only saw one. I gave it a few days and contacted them again about a refund. No response. They're scammers.

Now, I'm an Author

This has been the fulfillment of a 40 year dream. Through great weeks and tough weeks, the coaches are great - give their opinions but respected mine as well. My life is changed because no I am an author. That would not have happened without SP courses and coaches.

Valuable and Honest Education for Authors

This company offers legitimate, sound advice for self-publishing authors. The staff is knowledgeable and very professional. Most importantly, I can tell you from first-hand experience that they are honest and uphold their commitments to authors.

One day I'd write the books

I thought one day I'd write the books I meant to write. I was introduced to Selfpublishing.com and after some research of other self-publishing groups I was sold on Selfpublishing.com. They taught me, pushed me, stayed with me and got me over the publication finish line. My book has been released on Amazon. I'm working on follow up books 2 and 3. When the Selfpublishing.com rep asked why I decided to sign up my answer was an honest, "If not now, when?"

Since I signed up with self-publishing…

Since I signed up with self-publishing several years ago, the services that were available from the onset have continued to grow in value, as well as a host of additional programs and opportunities. Chandler and his team have continued to evolve and stay ahead of the curve while meeting the needs and pain points of up-and-coming authors. So thankful to have prompt access if I find myself in a quandary. Looking forward to another high-energy AAL!

I am about to start working on my first…

I am about to start working on my first book with Self Publishing, feeling very inspired and the process is going to be straightforward. Andrew, from Self Publishing, has been great to talk to, really got what I'm aiming for, and made me feel confident that I can do it, and make my dreams come true. If you're thinking about expressing an idea, or a vision, and writing a book, just do it. They offer an amazing support , coaches and training process. Words matter, visions matter, and you matter.

Excellent company that cares
