Premium Content Library

Welcome to the ever-growing premium content library!

This is where you’ll find all the lessons in the Simple Self-Publishing course, which breaks down the process of getting your book into the world.

As you can see below, it’s split into bite-sized chunks and categorized to make it easy to find what you need.

As content as added, I’ll add a link and the text will turn red. I’m adding everything below with a goal to have it complete by February 28, 2025.

If there’s an aspect of publishing you’re curious about but don’t see below, please send me a DM and let me know!
