Free Publishing Map

You feel called to write a book. Here is the map to publish it.

The Publishing Map lays out all 9 steps, from that first book idea to your published book, so you always know where you are and what comes next. It is free, and it comes with a short video where I walk you through every step.

What is inside your Publishing Map

Publishing your book can feel like a mountain when you are staring at all of it at once. This map breaks the whole journey into 9 simple steps, so you can take one at a time:

1

Commit to your book

2

Choose your topic and outline

3

Write your first draft

4

Self-edit your draft

5

Get a professional edit

6

Format your book

7

Design your book cover

8

Prepare for publication

9

Upload your files and publish

Plus a video where I walk you through each step, so the path ahead feels doable instead of daunting.

You do not have to figure this out alone

Maybe you have notes, ideas, or half a manuscript already, and the publishing part is the piece you have never known how to do. That is exactly why I created this map. You do not have to do it all at once, and you do not have to do it alone.
