ABOUT (link removed):

Click here to check out a video from our CEO Chandler Bolt to find out what its like to work at Self Publishing School.

(link removed) is a company that teaches people how to write, market & publish their first book in as little as 90 days.

Then we teach people to use that book to grow their impact, income, or business.

Our program is by far the best on the market which is why we have one of the highest student success rates of any online training company. We genuinely care about student results and provide a great avenue for them to be successful.

Our company is driven by 2 unique viewpoints:

• Its not about the book. Its about what the book does for you. We believe that Books Change Lives and we believe in the power of Leveraged Impact (changing lives through books)
• In going through the process, our students learn a lot about themselves and conquer fears, challenges & limiting beliefs they never knew existed.

Theyre also surprised by all of the opportunities that pop up once their book is out in the world.

The purpose of our company is to disrupt the publishing industry and show people that self publishing is not only an option, its the BEST option.

The publishing industry is broken. Big publishers are antiquated and inefficient. They take advantage of the people doing the hard work...the authors. Our company exists to show people there is a better way

a way that doesnt involve: using a publisher, wasting 2 years of your life, giving away all of your creative liberties, giving away all of your book royalties, and relying on a publisher that doesnt do any marketing for your book.
