Whether you’re an entrepreneur, aspiring speaker, or someone who wants to document your family or family member’s story, How to Publish Your Bestselling Book is your step-by-step guide to navigating the publishing world with clarity and confidence.
I designed this course for entrepreneurs, aspiring speakers, and anyone with a powerful story to tell—whether it’s your own life story, someone else’s, your business expertise, or an idea that’s been waiting to take shape.
Increase their personal brand (i.e. easily be found on Google/AI)
Gain credibility and authority in their industry/genre
Get invited to speak at events (and paid to do so)
Open doors to opportunities not otherwise available to them
In this course, you’ll gain a complete overview of how to publish a book, from the paths available to you to your first sale.
First, we’ll explore the three main publishing paths—traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing—so you can decide which is right for your goals, budget, and timeline.
Second, you’ll learn how to write and prepare your book for publishing, covering all the collaborative processes like editing, design, and marketing.
Then we’ll dive into the publishing process itself, guiding you through just some of the many publishing platforms available to all indie authors. You’ll also learn how to spot and avoid the scams that target first-time authors.
Finally, we tackle the part that stops most writers in their tracks—marketing. You’ll learn how to create a marketing plan you feel confident about, so you can attract readers, grow your audience, and turn your book into a bestseller.
As a child, my favourite thing to do was read books and write stories and poetry. Today, I’m an award-winning author and a “book whisperer” for authors with impact.
Since 2020, I’ve worked with (mostly independent) authors across various genres and answered countless questions.
As you go through 73 tight minutes of self-paced instruction, I share all the tools I’ve learned from my publishing journey and working with author clients and put them in this course for you.

That’s at least $800 worth of time you’ll save researching all this info.
I’ll also share the publishing experts I continue to learn from and add current resources as they arise.
As a thank you, I’ll also gift you with:
That’s $920 in value.
