You've finished your manuscript. Now what?
There’s a lot of information about which route is the best for book publishing — should you self-publish, get a traditional publishing deal, or consider a hybrid publisher? The short answer: it depends.
The truth is, there’s not a one-size-fits-all answer, and your publishing path will reflect your author goals. This course will provide a methodology for narrowing down your goals, and then help you use them to guide your publishing decisions.

Honor Your Author Goals
We’ll help you narrow down and get crystal clear on your goal(s) for publishing so you can and use it to guide your decisions.
Understand the pros & cons of traditional publishing

What is hybrid publishing and how does it compare? Is it expensive? What does it mean for your book? We highlight what it is and when you might want to use a hybrid publishing company.

What You'll Learn
I'm Joel Pitney and I've been helping authors get published for a decade.
Here's how I can help you:
I helped launch my first book onto the New York Times Bestseller list, and soon began working with a wide range of authors to help bring their books to the world. Over the years, I’ve seen handfuls of other agencies and courses pop up with promises to help authors become bestsellers overnight, or to publish their books in only 30 days. These claims drive me crazy because they’re either untrue, or cutting corners. Neither leads to feeling successful and professional.
In this course, I help you gain clarity on your goals for authorship and then use them to determine if you should self-publish, traditionally publish, or hybrid publish your book.
