What a gem Chris was on my first call and I learned a great deal from him about all things SPS. And Tyler brought in a hearty welcome the next couple of days. I feel seen.

Writing a book requires creativity, persistence, perseverance, and confidence. All of these qualities can ebb and flow throughout the process. But when you have a team with skill, dedication, and genuine commitment to your success, the work gets done, even when life makes it incredibly hard.

Self-publishing has stood by me through challenges I never anticipated. They gave me grace, flexibility, and extensions when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and support that went far beyond professional obligation and spoke to their humanity. That diagnosis was followed by a major move and the ongoing responsibility of caring for my 92-year-old mother. At several points, I questioned whether I could continue. At times, I gave up on myself.

Self-publishing never did.

They continued to encourage me, remind me of my purpose, and walk alongside me when my energy and confidence were low. This is an organization that truly cares about its clients as people, not just projects. It is led by Chandler Bolt, a man who genuinely walks the 'I care' walk. I have never witnessed such devotion to the success, dignity, and well-being of those he serves.

If you are looking for a self-publishing team that combines expertise with compassion, accountability with encouragement, and professionalism with heart, I cannot recommend Self Publishing highly enough, and most particularly Ali Tugwell. They didn’t just help me publish a book; they helped me keep going when life tried to stop me.

I invested a large sum of money with SelfPublishing.com expecting professional support with the publishing process. I was very clear that writing was not the issue; I needed help with publishing, including formatting, cover development, editing guidance, and understanding key details such as ISBN ownership.

My coaching calls were brief and often ended before much progress could be made. At times, my coach did not remember my name and showed little familiarity with my project. As the project moved forward, there was little to no involvement from the coach in editing or cover development, and there was no continuity between the different teams working on my book.

I was very unhappy with the cover-design process. Requests to speak with someone by phone were ignored, and relying solely on email made it difficult to resolve confusion. I also received no insider guidance or meaningful direction on creating a genre-appropriate cover.

A significant portion of my investment was for marketing, which I expected to be largely handled by their team. I was clear that this was the area where I needed the most help. The e-book promotions provided have not generated a single sale to date.

I was also misinformed about ISBN ownership.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend SelfPublishing.com to authors seeking comprehensive publishing support. It may be better suited for writers primarily seeking writing-focused encouragement rather than full-service publishing assistance

Great Experience

I never thought I would actually put my desire to write a book into action! But selfpublishing.com has made me confident that the process will be seamless and I'm so excited to get started!

I’ve had a vision of writing a book for over 15 years, and quite frankly, I didn’t have good direction and how to get started. What has been wonderful working with selfpublishing.com is that every person I had an interaction with helped me feel comfortable and confident going to the next step. Where there was doubt previously I now feel confident to see this project to the end. I couldn’t be more grateful. And what’s even more fantastic, is knowing that writing this book will also aide and launch my business endeavors!

I watched part of Chandler’s webinar on a Tuesday. By the end I had signed up for an exploratory call.

Nate asked me a great question: what vision do you have for your book? He didn’t know it but he laid out the attributes I wanted in a publisher. Trust. Expertise. The ability to grasp my vision for my book.

In addition, I have so many resources to help me develop as an individual and write book. My coaching sessions are great too. Thanks!

So far working with the Self-Publishing School has been great. Everyone that I have spoken to from the initial call, the orientation and my first coaching session has been really positive and inspiring. I'm confident that I am going to get to my goal of being a published author in a much shorter space of time than if I had attempted this journey on my own!

Thinking back on the entire experience, I am most struck by the flexibility I had to make this project my own but with all of SelfPublishing.com's help.

That was the exact service I needed to complete this project in a way that is perfect and true to me.

Even though it was a very hard process, they moved the project in the right direction with everything they worked on for me.

A few shout outs: Allison, Brett, Kaitlynn, TJ, Dakota, Hanna.

Working with SelfPublishing.com has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, their team has been professional, encouraging, and truly invested in helping me bring my story to life. Every step of the process — from coaching to editing to marketing guidance — has exceeded my expectations.

I’m so grateful for their support and care throughout this journey. If you’re serious about publishing your book the right way and want to work with people who genuinely care about your success, I can’t recommend SelfPublishing.com enough.

Wonderful experience, very welcoming. I had my first call with Michael today, we talked about my book which I was very self conscious about and he was very encouraging. Gave me lots of information, helped pick out a coach who I am looking forward to starting with in a couple of weeks, and I look forward to having my physical book in hand within the next year. So thankful to have found them, cannot wait to get this journey started.

"Great customer service! I love the mentality of service and helping others be successful in their endeavors. This is a purpose I can support!"

The process with selfpublishing.com from sign up to support is super easy and the instructions really clear! I am looking forward to the process as I complete my book! <3

"If you have the motivation to write, Self Publishing has the tools and support to keep you on track. This is a community of other authors who can help you through any aspect of your writing journey. I honestly wouldn't be able to do this without them."

I've been putting off completing my book for almost a year.. i needed accountability and guidance to help me refine the concept to push through. Selfpublishing.com came highly recommended & I am excited to have a plan in place to complete the book by year end!"

Fantastic to work with!
selfpublishing.com has been an outstanding partner—organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in my success. Their step-by-step coaching, clear timelines, and practical templates are mentoring me toward a successful book launch. I feel supported, accountable, and confident every week. Highly recommend!

Complete RIPOFF! My husband paid to have book published. Did not finish book and died four months later. This rip off outfit would not bother to even call back when I wanted a refund! I was told that "you should honour his memory and finish the book!" WTF?
Would not respond to Better Business Bureau. If this is the integrity....go elsewhere with your money!

I am beyond excited to be a part of the Self Publishing community family. It has been supportive and am please to announce that I completed my rough draft with the encouragement and support of the writing room community

I absolutely love this Self Publishing Platform and AAL. I have felt very supported in whatever I needed to get to the next level with my books. No matter where you are in your book writing journey, they have the services to help guide you where you want to go. The sky is the limit.
