Self-publishing a book can feel like an impossible dream. Even the most confident writers hit roadblocks when it comes to the world of self-publishing. With so many factors to consider, from cover design and ISBNs to interior formatting and printing costs, self-publishing can present a never-ending list of questions and confusion.

As a self-published author, I have released multiple, beautifully crafted poetry books and self-development journals using Amazon KDP. How does this benefit you?

My experience and knowledge will save you time, energy and effort. I have streamlined the entire process so that you can self-publish your book easily and enjoyably, for free.

This course will save you endless hours of trawling the internet trying to find a multitude of answers, and the lessons learned from my mistakes will save you hundreds of pounds.

Are you ready to self-publish your book?
