Why I Tell Most of My Clients to Self-Publish

Hundreds of thousands of copies sold. Zero dollars earned. It sounds impossible, but it's a story I heard firsthand at a recent conference, and it's exactly why I'm so passionate about this episode's topic. If you're dreaming of becoming an author, the publishing path you choose for your first book can either launch your dreams or quietly crush them. In this episode, I share why I always recommend that my clients self-publish their first book instead of signing with a hybrid or traditional publisher. I walk through the three reasons behind that advice, each backed by real stories from authors I've met and worked with, and each one a reminder of how much is at stake when you hand your book over to someone else. This conversation is about protecting what's yours: your work, your income, and your creative vision. Whether your goal is to become a household name or simply to hand out a book that proves your expertise, knowing what you're signing up for makes all the difference. Your book is your heart and soul on the page, so make sure you're the one holding the keys. Tune in to learn how to start your author journey on your own terms.
