selfpublishing.com Reviews 217

I've been involved with SPS for 10 months. The course is wonderful and easy to navigate. But the best part of SPS is the group coaching calls. It takes time and repetition to absorb the keys to this complex art of writing and publishing. These calls have kept me going on an even keel. Another great thing are the Writing Rooms offered several times a day. These online sessions are blocked out time that you commit to write or edit amongst friends and fellow authors. I hope you join us at SPS.

"Self Publishing is the best program I could have joined to foster my first children's book! They have training for any questions, and you'll have personal guidance throughout the process! Stop procrastinating, trust yourself, and take the leap of faith in your journey!"

Selfpublishing.com was a great service. I had no idea of the work that went into creating and marketing a book. They helped me every step of the way. Not only did they provide thorough course content, but they also provided a coach that I met with regularly. In addition to my regularly scheduled 1-on-1 coaching sessions, they have office hours and group sessions that I can join at any time that I have questions. I can email questions and submit tickets any time I need assistance as well.

I've only just begun working with selfpublishing.com and the experience has been sensational! Matthew brings an uplifting and motivating positive attitude that is par to none!! I highly recommend!

They sold me the "Author Accelerator Advantage" program for $11.5k. Huge mistake.

Firstly, they advertised on numerous places in their website that they did author websites and that was a big reason I purchased this since that's a $1000 in itself. I was told multiple times that they don't do them anymore, despite the fact they advertised it. Ridiculous.

The process of getting my cover done was extremely frustrating. I first worked with someone named "Joe." Joe was extremely unprofessional, never returned emails, waited weeks to get anything done. Absolutely TERRIBLE experience.

It took me weeks to get anything done with this guy. I even texted/called him numerous times to try to get him to do something very simple for me (upload to KDP so I could send my dying father a copy of the book) and he dragged his feet for WEEKS.

Absolutely absurd, but I came to learn he's about normal for this company. I should have listened to the rest of the terrible reviews.

I then complained to the CEO on Facebook, and Tyler Perdue called me. He described himself as a "fixer." After all the problems they were trying to advertise a package that had what I wanted: guaranteed reviews and a best seller. That's all I wanted, reviews and a best seller.

He said, both on a voice call and in writing in an email, that he could "definitely" get my book to best seller and 100 reviews. We spoke about it at length. He said he could "definitely" do it. We had the understanding that that would happen.

It never happened.

I have no new reviews and no proof my book hit best seller. He tried to claim that it "should have hit best seller" but where's the proof? You're telling me that for $11.5k you don't have someone to take a damn screenshot or something? Really? NO PROOF.

Both he and Dakota tried to claim they never promised reviews. What does the word "definitely" mean then?

Absolutely abysmal experience from this company. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY.

Thanks to the outstanding teachers at this school (especially RE Vance), I've written two books. selfpublishing.com is an informative and welcoming community dedicated to helping you learn the crafts of writing, publishing, and marketing. Their support in this solitary profession is the best!

I am thrilled to have found selfpublishing.com. From the first conversation with the representative, I knew that I was in the right place. The resources, classes and mentorship are helping me to be successful with my book endeavor. They have already inspired me to stretch farther than I ever imagined! I am beyond grateful. I recommend selfpublishing.com to anyone who has a dream of publishing a book but doesn't know how to start. Start here. Start now.

selfhelppubblishingschool made the dream of my book possible. I got the help I needed from experts on the team.

The professionalism exercised by all personnel at Selfpublishing.com is exemplary. The quality of mentorship is world-class, every person had my best interest at heart when times seemed to be difficult. The work done by each department in producing my book was always done with patience and outstanding results.

Brittany guided me in preparing for the upcoming processes. My manuscript was 99% complete when I arrived here, so we were talking about self-editing, then moving into the editing process (in house) which is where my manuscript is currently. This process has been an amazing catalyst to progress with my book. I am so excited to finish it now!!

Brittany my writing coach wasted no time. She is personable and we jumped in with both feet to get this book going! I cannot wait until our next meeting to let her know how far she has taken me in such a short time! I love SPS!"

The community to which we're all connected is so helpful. The author coaching is invaluable. SPS provides excellent resources for each step of publishing your book.

I signed up to publish with them and dearly paid for it. It felt like an exclusive boys’ club especially the mastermind meetings and as a novice I was not told about the importance of marketing. My book didn’t get the best seller tag and I was denied their money back guarantee because I was one WEEK over their one year time line. Nonsense. And they recommended a Swedish cover designer who was way overpriced ($400!). I’d have fared better with a 15$ designer. Seriously. Chandler Bolt feels like a common schemer out to get your money.

SelfPublishing helps you write and publish your book! They have terrific resources and great coaching!

Horrible communication, unpoffesional treatment of clients, doesnt follow through with their words.

I made a big payment, got no notice for another invoice, was told I would recieve a call, no call. Followed, was told I would recieve an email, no email. Send an email of my concerns, asking for a refund, most of the email was ignored and pressed forth to talk about payments.

For 7 THOUSAND dollars, this is unnacceptable. Do not invest in this company.

Leadership team does not receive constructive feedback very well.
No emphasis on having diverse backgrounds. It feels like a boys club.
High amount of stress placed on employees to perform without adequate compensation.
Company uses shady business tactics in client acquisition and employee compensation.
No opportunities for advancement.
Core values are only followed when convenient to do so.

I have really enjoyed my time so far. I just started recently, but the staff is really thorough and gives you a lot of information to know and work on. I would recommend to anyone that is trying to publish their first book. They do encourage and challenge you to do great things, and work with you from a financial standpoint. They also coach you and help you been in a community to help encourage you. I can't wait for my book to come out in a few months.

I learned a great deal about publishing and marketing my book and I am still learning, as this is an ongoing process. The coaches are excellent and they have been amazing to work with. Any author who is looking to publish a book should sign up with Selfpublishing.com. Most self-publishers are not experts and cannot do an effective job without help.

Selfpublishing.com delivers on their promises and provides everything authors need to plan, write, publish, and market their books. I highly recommend their done-for-you publishing and marketing services as well.

It's the real deal!! So grateful for the team at SPS! My book made it to #1 best seller in 4 categories during my first week of launch!
