Hello Reader!

In a recent e-mail, I mentioned that I was converting my Simple Self-Publishing Course into an incredibly affordable membership. As in, less than $10 a month affordable.

Why?

Because publishing a book can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. I know from experience.

I'm an author who’s published sixteen books (as of February 2025) in multiple formats, fourteen of them since April 2021. My backlist includes nonfiction, fiction, and two anthologies with over a dozen authors.

Because of my books, I speak across the country, including at the Travel and Adventure Show along with experts like Rick Steves and Pauline Frommer, and in 2025 I’ll be speaking at the Mensa Annual Gathering.

And I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to go from a completed manuscript to seeing your book on shelves. I've spoken about it at the Midwest Travel Network annual conference, and the most-asked questions at my latest writing workshop were about publishing. I'm also in a gazillion writer groups on Facebook, and I see the confusion as writers just want to get their book out there but don't know how.

Because I've seen over and over the need for a simple resource to help you figure out the many, many steps involved in self-publishing, I created a course. It covers pretty much everything you need to know.

However... it isn't cheap. It's certainly not the most expensive option, but it's also more than a meal out.

I decided I want to make this info accessible AND affordable.
