Stop Googling. Start Publishing.
A clear, step-by-step action plan that shows you exactly what to do (and what to skip) so you can self-publish your book with confidence—without wasting time, money, or brain cells.
YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER LIST OF 47 THINGS YOU MIGHT NEED TO DO TO SELF-PUBLISH PROPERLY.
YOU NEED A PROVEN PLAN THAT WALKS YOU THROUGH EACH STEP—IN ORDER—SO YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT'S NEXT AND HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE.
The Self-Publishing Action Plan is an 18-page downloadable, printable guide that simplifies the entire process. In less than 30 minutes, you’ll know:
✅ Exactly what to do, and what’s just busywork.
✅ How much time to allow for each stage.
✅ What to avoid so you don’t waste money fixing preventable mistakes.
✅ How to write back-cover copy that organically attracts your ideal readers. (You'll get the exact back cover templates I've used to help real authors write irresistible back cover copy.)
TL;DR: You're getting a trusted self-publishing plan from someone who’s done this 6 times for herself and 70+ times for others.
YES! I WANT THE ACTION PLAN!
I’m Elizabeth Lyons—author of 6 books, book writing and self-publishing coach, and book editor.
I’ve helped hundreds of first-time authors turn their ideas into professionally published books—without getting lost in the endless “should I do this or that first?” spiral.
Between my own titles and the 100+ authors I’ve guided, I’ve published 70+ books as well as written and edited more than a hundred back covers (and sold over 75,000 books myself).
So when I say I know exactly where new authors get stuck—and what actually moves the needle—I mean it.
That’s why I created The Self-Publishing Action Plan: to save you from the confusion, the rabbit holes, and the “I’ll just figure it out as I go” drama.
"Elizabeth's self-publishing guidance was exactly what I needed. She took what felt overwhelming and complicated and distilled it into straightforward, easy-to-follow steps."
—Allie Hill, author of The Girlfriends Guide to Empty Nesting
Still wondering if you really need this?
You might be thinking…
💭 “I can probably find all of this online for free.”
You absolutely can. But you’ll also find 43 conflicting opinions about ISBNs, book size, and when to hire an editor. This Action Plan cuts through all that noise so you can move forward with confidence instead of confusion.
💭 “I’m not ready to publish yet.”
That’s exactly why this plan exists. It shows you what’s coming so you can plan (and budget) smartly instead of scrambling later.
💭 “I’m not techy.”
Perfect. You don’t need to be. Each step is written in plain English and tells you exactly what to do and when to do it.
💭 “I don’t have a lot of time right now.”
Even better. You can skim the entire plan in less than 30 minutes and instantly see what’s ahead, what matters most, and what can wait.
THIS ISN'T ANOTHER TASK TO ADD TO YOUR NEVER-ENDING TO-DO LIST
It’s what will make your to-do list make sense!
