Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their professionalism, encouragement, and genuine investment in helping them achieve their publishing goals. Many people highlight the exceptional service, noting how the team makes them feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Reviewers also appreciate the comprehensive support, resources, and coaching that guide them from idea to published book, often exceeding their expectations. However, some customers also noted that the service might be better suited for writers primarily seeking writing-focused encouragement rather than full-service publishing assistance. A few people mentioned dissatisfaction with the cover-design process and felt they received little insider guidance on creating a genre-appropriate cover. Some reviewers also experienced brief coaching calls where their coach seemed unfamiliar with their project.

So glad I went with Self-publishing

So glad I went with Self-publishing. Published a book in 2012 with another self-publishing company and hardly got anything for the money except the book published. My coaches Karen and Kurt were terrific - definitely worth the money.

The #1 ONE source for indie authors!

There's just ONE source for self-publishing authors for high-quality, practical, and immediately useful resources and support. SP helped me launch my first book in 2016 and continues to be my go-to source. If I had a nickel for every time I referred someone to SP, I'd need many, many more piggy banks! God bless you all!

ERRORS

My book's editing through SelfPublishing.com was a disaster. They missed tons of errors, making me look unprofessional. Chandler Bolt's team is incompetent and not worth a dime.
