Ready to publish & want the best plan to follow?
You’re self-publishing a book and you want to get it out into the world. Pronto!
You want to self-publish. But there’s so much information to sift through. Worried about making decisions that will only lead to disappointment?
It can feel overwhelming to dig through all the self-publishing advice out there.
And where exactly are you supposed to shove this task on your already-full calendar?
What if you end up embarrassed?
Don’t spend another second spinning your wheels.
Traditional publishing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
You might wait 2 years to proudly hold the first printed copy of your book in your hands.
Your creative control over the publishing process will slip through your fingers.
When your book sells, your publisher will pocket most of the money. Your money.
And—they probably won’t have half the passion for your book that you do. You’ll end up disenchanted, underwhelmed, and disappointed.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Publish your book—now. The right way. With someone you already know and trust—You.
When you self-publish, you
- Gain control over shaping the creative process.
- Reach readers faster (and build your authority faster).
- Have the power to produce a quality book—on your own terms—so you beam with pride when you see your finished work.
- Escape the soul-crushing experience of traditional publishing.
Want to self-publish—without looking self-published?
This self-paced course breaks down the self-publishing process, the requirements, and your options, step by step.
And conveniently houses all that information in one place.
➜ No hours for you to spend drowning in information overload.
➜ No sifting through endless saved articles and YouTube videos.
➜ No spinning in your office chair, wondering where to start.
➜ No crossing your fingers and hoping you’ll make the right choices for you and your book.
This seems like a good time to introduce myself.
Hi—I’m Daniel Tortora.
Former history professor, current author coach and editor—on a mission to help you self-publish with pride and confidence.
Too many people struggle, alone, through the publishing process without someone to help and guide them.
After friends watched me traditionally publish two books (thanks, academia!)—they started blowing up my phone and my inbox.
They too wanted to publish books—but didn’t have 2 years, a PhD, or the desire to dive into the snake pit that is traditional publishing.
I created a successful self-publishing system—one that made them believers. One that proves you don't need a PhD to publish a great book.
Since then, I’ve continued to perfect that system because I understand how competitive publishing is, and how quickly trends change.
I’ve helped hundreds of hopeful authors like you to improve their writing, take charge of the book publishing process, and self-publish with confidence.
Would you like to self-publish and show up—on Amazon (and elsewhere)—like a pro?

Let’s talk dollars and “sense.”
You could spend at least $60/hour or more to hire an author coach to and it could easily take 10–12 hours or more.
You could pay $1,000–$3,000, on average, to work with a self-publishing services company (where you’re not even allowed to speak to the editor—talk about impersonal).
There are lengthy self-publishing training programs for authors that cost $6,000!
But this course won’t even cost you that much.
You can get all the information, explore it at your own pace, and turn your book manuscript into your very own published book—for only $149.
But wait! There’s more!😎
