So… you’ve written a book—or you're dreaming of finally publishing one. But now what?
Are you wondering whether to query agents or go the indie route? Confused about ISBNs, formatting, or how to actually sell your book once it’s live? Do you want to maintain full creative control but still publish something professional, polished, and powerful?
If you’ve been sitting on a finished manuscript (or the idea for one), it’s time to stop wondering and start building your publishing plan—on your terms.
The Art of Self-Publishing is a 6-week guided workshop designed for writers who are ready to take control of their publishing journey without the overwhelm.

We’ll also address one of the biggest conversations in publishing right now: AI.Should you…
