Course Description

Don't you have a story or a message inside of you that you want to share with the world? Don't you want to self-publish and run your publishing business right? This is a half hour introduction for the Ground Zero Self-Published Author course, a course that shares with you every single step it takes to self-publish your book (and others'), along with exactly how much money it’s going to cost you . . . from start to finish.

In the full course you will learn:

  • Every single step it takes to self-publish a book (so that you don't miss a beat)
  • The price range each and every step is going to cost (so that you'll know how to budget)
  • The time and effort it takes to self-publish (determine if you have the dedication it takes)


    • We leave no page (or stone) un-turned. As minor as it may sound, we make sure you have in your budget everything from the ISBN, bar-code, editor, to a pack of pencils and paper. That's right; when you complete the full course you will know how much money it will take to invest in the process of self-publishing. Not only that, but you will know every single step you must take in order to achieve your goal of self-publishing your book the right way.

    There are many self-published books on the market, but not all of them were self-published right. Those are the ones that retailers can’t even place on their shelves for the consumer to consume. You don’t want that to be you. We at Path To Publishing don’t want that to be you either, which is why we created The Ground Zero Self-Published Author course. Make sure your product is bookshelf ready and can stand up against any traditionally published book.

    After completing the full course you will be able to:

  • Self-publish a book (the right way)
  • Become a published author (and possibly now be considered an expert in certain areas)
  • BECOME A PUBLISHER (build a publishing business/small press)


    • Not only will you be able to self-publish your own books, but you will be equipped with the information to publish the works of other authors. So if building a literary empire or a small press is your mission, this course is a must.

    As a bonus, in the full course you will learn why to self-publish and what to self-publish. Books, be it fiction or non-fiction, are not the only things generating income in the publishing arena. In addition, in the full course we will share what almost no other course, if any at all, teaches; why NOT to self-publish.

    Whether it's a full-length novel or a low content journal, the full course is a must have if you do not want to waste your time and money, and if you want to avoid the stress of research and the risk of guessing.

    If you have read books on self-publishing, taken webinars, other courses, or even had a few sessions with a literary consultant or coach, Path To Publishing can guarantee that all of the information we have packed into the full course, you have not received from a single book, workshop, webinar, course or individual.

    What is taught in the full course, the instructor had to learn in seventeen years of being in the literary industry. She had to spend thousands of dollars (with plenty wasted) and invest thousands of hours of research. You get it all for thousands of dollars less and in less than two hours! It would take the average self-published author over a year of research just to learn the basics. Even then they will not have obtained every step that is included in the full course.

    Who is the Ground Zero Self-Published Author course for? YOU; that person who has a story, message, idea and instruction to get out. That person who wants to extend their reach beyond speaking engagements, workshops, and coaching. Even if you've already self-published a book, I can assure you that you will come across a step or two that you missed. Would you truly have peace of mind knowing that you have a product out there that could be better?


    The Ground Zero Self-Published Author course teaches you everything you can think of about the self-publishing process . . . or didn't think of.
