Discover How You Can Become a Published Author

If you're like most people, you've dreamed of writing your own book at one time or another. Maybe you were on an airplane or on vacation lounging at the beach reading the latest business best-seller. And you thought, "Wow, I know more than this guy; I could have written this!"

Almost everyone says they want to write a book, but then reality hits and they aren't sure how to make it happen. The key is to devote a little bit of time to your book each day.

Over the years, we've seen people frustrated at their lack of success when trying to write a book in some absurdly short period of time (48 hours! Two weeks! Three Days!) It's like diets that don't work. Yes, you can go on a crash diet, but it almost always fails because almost no one can keep up that kind of intensity -- whether it's starving yourself or writing.

That's why we've created low-key publishing courses that let you learn how to write and publish a book in your spare time. Unlike an "intensive" or "boot camp," you'll still have time to write and make forward progress. Here's how much time it takes:

Read the lesson: 30 minutes
Complete the worksheet: 1 hour
Attend the monthly Q&A call: 1 hour/month

You can finish a book and still live your life and run your business!

What People Say

Writing a book is not a "get rich quick" scheme. If you're looking for that, our programs aren't for you. Here, our job is to give you the support you need to turn your dream book into a reality. In addition to the comments below, you can read more people's experience with our online instruction on our About page.

I downloaded my first worksheet, and really like the format of how you set it up, navigation-wise. It's easy to get from here to there, and the discussion board at the bottom makes it easy for me to be a part of the conversation—you don't have to leave the page to see what people are saying and doing. Very cool!
~ Paula Diaco (SelfPubU student)

Susan and James are a power team who instantly recognize the issues and provide specific guidance on how to fix whatever is ailing your book. Having the support and guidance of successful authors who understand exactly what I'm going through is an extraordinary gift.
~ Kathy Goughenour (former student)

Enjoy a Mastermind Group of Authors and Publishers

All of our programs come with a trial membership in our exclusive Book Author's Circle.

Publishing a book is a fairly straightforward process, but like anything else as you go through, you'll probably have questions. When it comes to publishing, mistakes can be extremely expensive.

Your book is as individual as you are, so the right decisions for writing and marketing your book depends on what you want your book to do for you. The Book Author's Circle can help you meet your publishing goals.

Here's What You Get

Comprehensive Courses
Our program is ideal no matter where you are in your book writing journey. The courses are carefully constructed to take you seamlessly from one step in the book writing and publishing process to the next.
Easy to Absorb Lessons
Some online courses overwhelm you with so much stuff all at once that you end up feeling completely depressed. You won't have that experience at SelfPubU. Each course is broken up into easy-to-digest lessons. And each lesson is divided up into pages for easier reading and less scrolling. You'll have enough time to learn what you need to know, get your questions answered, and still do the most important thing of all: write your book.

Integrated Discussion Features
Each lesson has a mini-discussion board system built right into it. You don't have to flip back and forth between a separate discussion board and the lesson itself. It's one holistic unit. (No more wading through a bunch of unrelated discussion threads to find answers!) If you're reading along and a question pops into your head, with just one click, you can enter your question, so you don't forget it! The response will be posted right there with your question within the lesson itself.
Worksheets That Focus on YOUR Book
Each lesson in each course has a worksheet, so you can take what you're learning and apply it to your own book project. Worksheets are downloadable PDF files that you can complete at your convenience. The worksheets help you focus on the specific actions that will move you forward on your book project.

Bonus Audios from Publishing Experts
Some lessons include audios from experts who spoke at our Self Publisher's Online Conference. Learn about the state of self publishing, get writing advice, create a great book cover, build a platform, and a whole lot more.
Regular Mastermind Calls
As part of your Book Author's Circle trial membership, you can attend our monthly, live, mastermind calls with your instructor Susan Daffron. You can get feedback on your worksheet answers, ask questions, and get advice.
Unlimited Access to the Program
Your account at SelfPubU never expires, and you have unlimited access to the course material. If you get the book writing "bug" again later you can log back in and and access all of your courses again any time without any additional fees.
