When most people dream of writing a book, they imagine curling up in a cozy spot, tapping away on their laptop, and then, suddenly, a shiny, published book lands in their hands. But here’s the thing: while writing a book is magical, the process of getting it out into the world can feel a little overwhelming. Enter the self publishing coach. Think of a coach as your personal guide, cheerleader, and partner in crime as you navigate the exciting world of self publishing.
Self publishing is one of the most freeing and empowering ways to share your story, expertise, or creativity with the world. Unlike traditional publishing, you stay in the driver’s seat. From deciding your book’s cover design to setting your launch date, self publishing puts the control back in your hands. And when you pair that freedom with the guidance of a coach, you get the best of both worlds: creative freedom and professional expertise.
The Freedom of Self Publishing
One of the biggest reasons authors choose self publishing is freedom. You don’t have to wait months (or even years) for an agent to reply. You don’t have to send query letters into the abyss, hoping someone sees your potential. Instead, you can publish your book when you’re ready.
A self publishing coach can help you make the most of that freedom without feeling lost. For example, instead of wondering which platform is right for you—Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or both, you’ll have someone to guide you through the pros and cons. Want global distribution? IngramSpark might be your match. Want easier access to Amazon readers? KDP is calling your name. A coach makes these choices far less intimidating and a lot more exciting.
Why Work with a Self Publishing Coach?
Sure, you can figure out self publishing on your own. But if you’ve ever tried Googling “how to self publish a book,” you know the rabbit hole is real. A coach saves you from that spiral. Here’s what a self publishing coach brings to the table:
- Clarity & Direction – From manuscript to launch day, you’ll know exactly what step comes next.
- Professional Insight – Coaches understand industry trends, so your book doesn’t just exist, it thrives.
- Accountability – Deadlines become easier to hit when someone’s guiding you forward.
- Confidence – Instead of second-guessing yourself, you’ll have a partner reminding you that yes, your book deserves to be in readers’ hands.
Self Publishing = Staying in Control
Here’s the part that makes me smile the most: with self publishing, you’re in complete control. Your voice doesn’t get diluted by committees. Your book doesn’t sit in limbo for years. And your royalties? They’re yours, not sliced up and passed around.
But let’s be honest, control can also feel like pressure. That’s where coaching comes in again. A self publishing coach helps you stay organized, break the process down into bite-sized steps, and avoid the common pitfalls. You’ll feel empowered instead of stressed, ready instead of rushed.
Flexible Options That Fit You
Not every author needs the same level of help. Some writers are bursting with ideas but freeze when it’s time to format a book. Others have a finished manuscript but no clue how to market it. That’s why flexibility is key.
At Brandy Ellen Digital LLC, I offer options that meet you where you are. Need a complete ghostwriting package to bring your story to life? I’ve got you. Want editing and formatting so your book shines on Amazon KDP or IngramSpark? Done. Or maybe you just need a little coaching to help you push through those last chapters. Whatever stage you’re at, there’s a way to move forward without losing your sanity (or your sparkle).
Yes, I Can Even Ghostwrite Your Book
Some people think hiring a self publishing coach means only getting advice. But here’s a fun twist: I also offer ghostwriting services. That means if you have an idea for a book but don’t love the writing process, you don’t have to shelve your dream. We’ll work together to pull your ideas out of your head and onto the page, then transform them into a polished manuscript.
From there, we can make sure your book is formatted beautifully for Amazon KDP or IngramSpark. That means no weird spacing issues, no awkward chapter breaks, and no formatting nightmares. Just a professional-looking book you’ll be proud to share with the world.
The Perks of Working with a Coach vs. Going Solo
Still wondering if a coach is worth it? Let’s play a quick round of “what’s better.”
- Going Solo: You spend weeks trying to figure out which size your book should be.
- With a Coach: You get a quick recommendation that saves you time and energy.
- Going Solo: You upload your book only to find it looks nothing like you imagined.
- With a Coach: Your formatting is handled before it ever becomes a headache.
- Going Solo: Marketing feels like a mystery.
- With a Coach: You get guidance on how to launch your book, connect with readers, and build momentum.
See the difference? Working with a coach doesn’t take away your freedom—it enhances it.
