The guide I wish I'd had when I began my publishing journey on Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) back in 2017.

Even though my first book 'From Fear to Freedom' went on to become an Amazon best-seller, I had to spend thousands of dollars on expensive self-publishing courses, hundreds more on editors, designers and formatters... plus there were so many details that no-one tells you about (normally because they're just selling publishing COURSES and not actually publishing BOOKS).

In the first few months of 2022 I have published:

• Confessions of a Pageant Queen 2022 (a pageant-themed coffee-table book)

• Faith & Her (a Bible-themed coffee-table book)

• A pageant programme book

• 2 children's books

• A children's colouring book

Which is another way of saying... I know my way around Amazon KDP! Most of which I've learnt the hard way through making mistakes and having to figure things out for myself.

This course contains those lessons.

So... are YOU ready to finally get published?

About your instructor:

My authoring journey began in late 2017 when I decided that I wanted to publish a book based on inspiring stories about women who'd managed to survive incredibly tough times such as domestic violence, substance abuse and mental illness.

After taking a VERY expensive course on self-publishing (which was of VERY limited use), I decided to do things my way and published 'From Fear to Freedom' which went on to hit #1 on Amazon in Australia, the US and the UK.

As is often the case, my life took a detour and I ended up in the world of beauty pageants (that's a long story for another day). To cut a long story short, I decided to put my book-publishing talents to use and published the two-volume monster 'Confessions of a Pageant Queen', containing interviews with 160 pageant queens from arond the world.

Both volumes went on to crack the Top Ten in Amazon.

In 2022 I'm doubling down on authoring and self-publishing. My journey in this industry has certainly not been a simple one and much of it has been learnt through sheer trial and error (often very late at night).

If I can pass on even a small part of that wisdom to you and save you years of wondering 'what if', then I will consider it well worth it.

My belief is that EVERYONE has a book in them. Some may want to pen a best-seller. Others may simply want to publish a book as a bucket list item. For others still, it might be a useful tool for their business or personal brand.

No matter where you fit in that spectrum, I hope you will get great value (and very PRACTICAL value) from the courses I publish here on Udemy.

Make sure you let me know what book projects you're working on so that I can better help you achieve your authoring goals!

Best
