A: That depends on several factors including how fast you write, how long your book will be, and how many rounds of editing you'd like to do. If you follow my recommended approach, you should be able to write and publish your first book in anywhere from 4 to 6 months. If you work at a slower pace, it could be a little longer.

A: The best way to ask questions is by posting them in our Facebook community. I answer most questions there within 24 hours. You'll also get input from other group members, which can be invaluable. 

If you have questions you don't want to share with the community, you can email me directly. I also answer most email questions within 24 hours.

If you'd like individual training on any writing or self-publishing topics, I do offer consultations at a discounted rate for students enrolled in my course.

A: That's up to you. I'll show you options for refining and publishing your book on budgets anywhere from $0 to $2,000. Most of my students pay between $400 and $800 for services that include editing, formatting, and book cover design. I will show you options that require no extra costs if you're willing to do many of the tasks yourself or find someone who will do them for you at no charge.

A: Since hybrid publishers typically charge anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 for publishing services, you'll save thousands of dollars by learning to do it yourself. Also, those publishers charge you for every book you publish with them. Once you complete this course, you'll be able to use what you've learned for every additional book you write and publish. The more books you publish, the more money you'll save by doing it yourself.

A: Yes. My policy is that one course can be shared with anyone in your household. They'll have to use your account information to login, but they're welcome to use everything you have access to in the course. Please don't share your login information with anyone beyond people who live in your household.

A: My intent is that you have access to the course materials whenever you need them. I guarantee you'll have access for at least 2 years after enrolling in the course. I'm open to granting access beyond that, but I don't guarantee it. If you lose access for any reason, please contact me so we can discuss options for you accessing the course materials when needed.
