Hey guys,
I wanted to share a quick note of appreciation for the wonderful support I’ve received throughout my publishing journey. Although I haven't been involved that much at all, I know you guys are always there when I need you.

Your team has been professional, reassuring, and easy to work with.
A special thank you to Ms Ali, who has been helpful and genuinely encouraging.
Thank you for creating an environment where authors feel supported, empowered, and understood.

Best,

Thank you Selfpublishing.com! You held my hand and educated me through the entire publishing process, and now The Bashful Ladybug is complete. The classes, coaching, and publication team, walked me through the entire process, and now I'm a published author.
I looked at multiple platforms, and chose SP for its emphasis on educating the writer and understanding the business.

Thank you SP! I highly recommend.

Selfpublishing.com is easy to work with. You know the saying "you get what you pay for"? Well Selfpublishing.com is pricey, but so worth it. The courses, the coaches, the production team, the support available at most anytime, is unmatched. Like anything else, you have to do your part. When you do that, this team is the best cheerleader and support system you can hope for.

"Incredibly thorough and fast! They responded to all my emails and pain points I had. I could not have gotten through this massive project without all the help from this team."

This was my first book 'The Success Trap', and I am glad I took a service from self-publishing.com to guide me in the publishing & launch process.

The team was awesome in assisting me in every step of the process and promptly responding to my queries (which were many!).

I recommend their service full-heartedly to authors who are stuck in writing/launching a book!

I really enjoyed working with this team, everyone has supported me throughout this journey, answering all my questions, having meetups. I highly recommend Selfpublishing.com.

Excellent service. I loved every minute (even my down times when I was trying to connect my book to my personal experiences). The coaching is outstanding, and the resources are amazing. Thank you, selfpublishing.com!

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!"
