Simple Self-Publishing Takes the Pain out of Publishing
Your dream of becoming a published author is closer than you think.
Writing a book is a big deal. But then you have to publish it.
Where do you start?
Publishing a book can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
I'm an author who’s published sixteen books (as of January 2025) in multiple formats, fourteen of them since April 2021. My backlist includes nonfiction, fiction, and two anthologies with over a dozen authors.
Because of my books, I speak across the country, including at the Travel and Adventure Show along with experts like Rick Steves and Pauline Frommer, and in 2025 I’ll be speaking at the Mensa Annual Gathering.
And I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to go from a completed manuscript to seeing your book on shelves. I've spoken about it at the Midwest Travel Network annual conference, and the most-asked questions at my latest writing workshop were about publishing. I'm also in a gazillion writer groups on Facebook, and I see the confusion as writers just want to get their book out there but don't know how.
Because I've seen over and over the need for a simple resource to help you figure out the many, many steps involved in self-publishing, I created a course. It covers pretty much everything you need to know.
However... it isn't cheap. It's certainly not the most expensive option, but it's also more than a meal out.
I decided I want to make this info accessible AND affordable.
Simple Self-Publishing is designed to make the path from manuscript to published book accessible, affordable, and achievable for everyone.

I’m adding the first lessons as you read this! It will be open to members on Monday, January 27, 2025, and more will be added throughout the coming weeks.
New lessons and content will be added on a regular basis. I publish multiple books per year, and each time I do, I’ll update existing lessons and/or add new information.
I’m also constantly researching my industry, so my Recommended Resources will be updated frequently.
