Publish Your Book

Your manuscript is finished and edited. This workshop walks you through every step of publishing it on Amazon with a professional editor guiding the process.

Your manuscript is ready. Let’s get it published.

Publish Your Book is a four-week workshop for students who have a completed, edited manuscript and want guided support through the publication process. This is not a writing or editing class, and your manuscript should be finished and polished before you begin.

Over four weeks, students work with a professional editor on our team to complete every element needed to publish: author bio, cover concept, back blurb, introduction or thank-you page, dedication, and any postscripts. Students learn the practical mechanics of Amazon KDP, including ISBN options, formatting requirements, and the upload process. By the end of the workshop, your book is published and available for purchase.

Week-by-Week: Week 1: Formatting & Setup | Week 2: The Front Pages & Biography | Week 3: Cover Concept & Back Blurb | Week 4: Final Review, Upload & Publication

Prerequisite: A completed, edited manuscript. If your manuscript still needs editing, see Meet with an Editor and Publish.
