Erik Westrum

"I think that's what selfpublishing.com does a really good job of, is being the guide and getting the best return on your investment."

Erik Westrum is a professional athlete turned published author and entrepreneur. His goal was to have a one-to-many tool for sharing his expertise with the world. The results? Selling thousands of copies, securing keynote speaking engagements, launching a course, and increasing business revenue.

Kokeb McDonald

"My first book did really well. I earned more from that book than I did from my first paycheck as an occupational therapist. I would not have created all of this if I had not written a book."

As a business owner, Kokeb saw a space in the market. She chose to work with us and self-publish her own book because she wanted full control of her tools and work. She never considered any other options because, for her, there weren't any.

Reuben's memoir, "In Ancient Paths," quickly gained traction and touched the hearts of readers globally. Within the first year, his book generated over $75,000 in royalties. His story has been featured in various literary platforms, amplifying his impact and reaching a huge audience in America.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this program live or self-paced?

You get the best of both! Our program includes on-demand video lessons you can complete anytime, along with live weekly coaching sessions for personalized feedback, Q&A, and community support. Can’t attend live? No worries — all sessions are recorded for you to watch anytime.

Why should I create my children's book with your help?

Writing for children is rewarding but comes with unique challenges — from engaging storytelling to age-appropriate illustration and publishing. Our expert team guides you through every step with coaching, illustration support, professional design, and proven publishing tools so your book truly stands out and delights young readers.

How long does it take to write and publish my book?

Most authors complete their manuscript within 8-10 weeks, with publishing typically finished by week 16. However, the program is flexible — you can go faster or take your time. We provide weekly goals to help you stay on track and support you throughout the journey. You’ll also have lifetime access to all lessons and resources.

Can’t I just write and self-publish my children’s book alone?

Yes, you can — but many first-time authors struggle with storytelling structure, finding illustrators, and the technical side of publishing. Our program helps you avoid common mistakes and saves you time by providing expert support, creative resources, and a community that helps you stay motivated and confident.
