Coaching
This is why we partner each aspiring author with a bestselling, experienced author as a personal coach to provide you with customized strategic support.
1-on-1 Coaching
Over 2 Million new books were published in 2022. Every single one of them is unique, and yours is no different. With 6 one-on-one coaching calls, our bestselling author coaches will help you tailor your book to reach your intended audience, uncover your hidden strengths and weaknesses, and hold you accountable to meet your goals. You'll walk away with a well-written book, a plan to publish and market your bestseller, and everything you need to know to use it as a tool to build your brand, grow your business, or share an impactful message.
Group Coaching
Have you ever heard the saying, “a rising tide lifts all boats?” We believe this is what happens when a group of writers come together to talk through their wins and challenges. Our weekly laser group coaching sessions are held on Zoom with Chandler Bolt, founder and CEO of SelfPublishing.com, and Sean Sumner, community manager at Self-Publishing School. Gain clarity in real-time from those who have been exactly where you are.
Daily Coaching Office Hours
Sometimes, you need an answer ASAP in this industry. Your time is precious and this process can be unpredictable. This program is designed to give you the support you need quickly and easily, which is why we give you 12 months of unlimited daily coaching. These group coaching calls are scheduled between 10 and 15 times per week and are always live on Zoom with a bestselling author coach facilitating. You’re welcome to drop in and ask (or answer!) questions as they come up.

Book Production
We handle 100% of the cover design and formatting to ensure your book is beautiful, inside and out. You will work collaboratively with our design team to make sure we end with a design tailored to your ideal target market.
Book Cover Design
You've been lied to all these years. The truth is: yes, people do judge a book by its cover. We’ve seen this again and again with the thousands of authors who come to us for help with self-publishing or marketing their existing self-published book. You’ll work with your coach and our design team to create a cover that not only attracts your ideal reader, but one that is created based on genre research so your sales last beyond your book launch.
Professional Formatting
Formatting is the final stage in the book-production process and having a well-formatted book is critical to becoming a bestselling author! The experience a person has while reading your book and how it looks is just as important as your book's cover. Our professional design team will format your book for digital and print while ensuring your book’s look and feel is the highest quality, inside and out.
01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05
COMMUNITY
Our community is a vibrant group of bestselling authors and aspiring authors from more than 90 countries. Joining our community is a unique opportunity to tap into the collective wisdom of the group and network with other authors.
Exclusive Mastermind Community
For 12 months, you’ll have access to our private author mastermind community with direct access to more than 2,000 published authors. It's a powerful resource for finding reliable writing partners, gathering helpful feedback on your cover or title, putting together a launch team, and getting book reviews. In a group like this, someone else has already been where you are, and they're excited to help you through it if needed.
Writing Rooms
Our writing rooms give you the time, space, and accountability to WRITE. When you join the Zoom writing room, you’ll begin by setting your word count goal for the session along with everyone else. Then, you’ll mute yourself and get to work—with your camera either on or off. We’ll set the tone by playing relaxing music and then end the session by sharing our word counts with each other and even some wins or total progress.

Publishing
The beauty of stg.selfpublishing.com is that you get all of the benefits of traditional publishing, without the strings attached. We handle all of the publishing logistics on your behalf, with you maintaining 100% of the rights, royalties, and creative freedom.
Uploading to Amazon
The Amazon publishing process can be confusing, with the technical aspects shifting as the company updates their websites and processes. This is why we’ll handle the technical details by uploading your book directly (through your account), ensuring it gets approved, and the listing is completely accurate. The best part? You keep 100% of your rights and royalties. You also retain full ownership and control over your content, pricing, and marketing strategies.
Categories, Keywords, & Book Description
There are 7,500 new Kindle books published every day, which makes choosing the right categories and keywords the best way to give your book a fighting chance of being noticed (and purchased!) by your ideal readers. Our team will analyze search volume, measure category competition, and help you optimize your book description for consistent sales.
Worldwide Book Distribution
We’ll set up worldwide distribution on your behalf and ensure your book is available through Amazon’s KDP platform and everywhere Amazon sells. This includes ebook distribution and Amazon’s print-on-demand feature, which doesn’t require you to manage fulfillment or inventory. Someone buys and Amazon prints and ships it. All you'll need to do is check your daily “books sold” amount as it continues to increase.

“The call gave confidence and energy to do something I didn't think I was capable of doing. Imagine going through your life, always thinking, I should write a book about my experiences but never having the courage and belief that you could. Suddenly, someone believes in you, provides direction, and honestly tells you that you are capable.”
STEPHEN VIEIRA
“The call I had just made it real for me that I could really get my book published. I had been “trying” to write and finish my book but was stuck in this perpetual loop of editing, changing, doubting and losing motivation as a result. I didn't see the full picture of how my book fit into the business I was trying to build so I would fizzle out and stop. But it all came together when I had my first phone call with Nate and then my subsequent coaching calls with Kerk. I was all in.”
RANIA KORT
“Just before my first call with SPS I was SO nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I learned that I could actually do it…make my dream come true of writing a book and getting it published! I will forever be grateful to SPS for the gift of becoming an author!”
