PUBLISH THE DAMN BOOK ALREADY
You’ve poured your heart into your book. Now you’re staring down the publishing process wondering, Where do I even start?
I’ll walk you through the exact steps to self-publish a professional-quality book that looks traditionally published.
No overwhelm. No tech tantrums. No wasted money.
🎉 SHOW ME HOW IT WORKS
"If you’re looking to self-publish, this course single-handedly answers the question 'How the hell am I going to do this?' You’ll learn about the entire process with tips, insights, and best practices as well as referrals to other great resources. Elizabeth was a layer of protection when uncertainty surfaced. It was worth every penny for sure."
—Mary Belle, author of Vivi Il Momento and Bella Vita
Why I Created This Course
When I self-published my first book in 2004, I made every mistake in the book (pun absolutely intended). I spent thousands I didn’t need to and lost months to bad advice and tech overwhelm.
Once I figured out what actually mattered, I started helping other writers do it differently (as in, calmly) so they could publish a book that looked like it came from a big-name publisher.
Publish the Damn Book Already is everything I wish I’d had back then—a straightforward, step-by-step roadmap that makes professional self-publishing simple and doable for anyone.
You've put your heart and soul into your book. But you have no idea how to get it published!
Does any of this sound familiar:
- "Self-publishing feels really overwhelming."
- "Every website tells me something different when it comes to how to publish, and not wanting to make the 'wrong' choice is keeping me from making any choice!"
- I'll go through a few more rounds of edits (even though I've been through 38 already). Then I'll figure out how to publish it."
- "Maybe one day, a big publisher will come along and want to publish it. That would certainly be easier." (Sidenote: it probably won't be easier.)
You're also likely thinking...
⭐️ "I see others publishing books left and right. 'What do they know that I don't?'"
⭐️ "I really believe (except when I don't) that my book would be loved by the same people buying everyone else's books in the same genre (if only it were available for purchase)."
⭐️ "I know there are opportunities I could enjoy as a published author: speaking on podcasts, having book signings (where I might actually enjoy people-ing), reaching more clients, speaking at events, or even writing more books! But first, I've got to get this one out there, and I'm...stuck."
LET ME ASSURE YOU...
⭐️ This whole self-publishing thing isn't nearly as overwhelming as it likely feels.
⭐️ You DON'T need the validation of a "big name" publishing house to make your dream of being a published author a reality.
⭐️ The only actual problem you have is, you aren't clear on which steps to follow to self-publish a book that's just as high in quality as books published by the "big guys" (while you retain all rights, earnings, and creative control).
SAY LESS. I'M READY!
🗞️ NEWSFLASH
You absolutely can publish a phenomenal book without:
- Spending hours slogging through how-do-I-publish-a-high-quality-book rabbit holes.
- Investing thousands of dollars into add-on services you don't need.
- Having a massive following on social media or a huge email list.
All you need to know is which steps to take (and which to avoid) so you don't fall into the same "high expectations/low reward" traps many first-time authors fall into.
And for the record, yes, you most certainly can figure this process out with Google. For free. But Google searches often yield pages and pages of conflicting results, and sometimes you just want someone who's done it 70+ times to say, "Do this first. Then this. And skip that part"
If that's you, you're in the right place.
