Are you a first-time author, or would you like to be? Denis can assist you to get familiar with the many industries involved, including:
- Manuscript writing in Microsoft Word, editing, typesetting, proofreading, layout, cover design and illustrations.
- Preparing blurbs, endorsements and marketing materials. Procuring the ISBN and bar code and copyrighting.
- Getting printer quotes. Working with Amazon, Kindle and iBook to publish as an e-book.
- Options for Print-on-Demand, Google eBookstore, and the benefits of doing your own short-run print job.
- Self-promotion (online and in-print, interviews, articles, endorsements, etc.) for optimal sales and marketing.
You will learn what parts of this you can (and must) do on your own, and what aspects you should “farm out” to the experts. As our guideline and textbook, we’ll be using Peter Bowerman’s award-winning book, “The Well-Fed Self-Publisher,” including his very detailed timeline and checklist.

With Denis as your self-publishing coach and mentor, your success is almost assured—depending on you, of course! You will soon learn that writing and publishing your own book isn’t so daunting after all and is actually doable.
