Indie Publishing Demystified Guide

$12.00

A Clarity Guide for Writers

This guide is the written version of my “Indie Publishing Demystified” talk — organized, expanded, and designed to be something you can return to when you’re actually making decisions.

If you’ve attended one of my talks, you already know this isn’t about hype, shortcuts, or chasing trends.

It’s about thinking clearly before you:

  • Spend a lot of money

  • Commit years of your life

  • Or lock yourself into choices that are hard to undo

This guide covers the same material as the class, but in a form you can:

  • Read slowly

  • Highlight and revisit

  • Sit with when you’re not under pressure

And use as a grounding reference when you’re weighing real decisions

A Clarity Guide for Writers

This guide is the written version of my “Indie Publishing Demystified” talk — organized, expanded, and designed to be something you can return to when you’re actually making decisions.

If you’ve attended one of my talks, you already know this isn’t about hype, shortcuts, or chasing trends.

It’s about thinking clearly before you:

  • Spend a lot of money

  • Commit years of your life

  • Or lock yourself into choices that are hard to undo

This guide covers the same material as the class, but in a form you can:

  • Read slowly

  • Highlight and revisit

  • Sit with when you’re not under pressure

And use as a grounding reference when you’re weighing real decisions

What this guide is

 This is not a step-by-step publishing manual.

 It is a clarity guide — written to help you think well before you choose a publishing path.

 Inside, we explore:

  • What indie publishing actually asks of you (emotionally, financially, and practically)

  • The real tradeoffs behind control, cost, and responsibility

  • How to think about editing, covers, pricing, and rights without panic or fantasy

  • How discoverability and reader expectations really work

  • Why burnout is a terrible time to make publishing decisions

  • And how to choose a path that fits your life, your energy, and your capacity — not just your hopes

Who this is for

This guide is for:

  • Writers who are considering indie publishing and feel overwhelmed

  • Writers who are stuck between “I want this” and “I don’t know if I can do this”

  • Writers who are burned out or afraid of making an expensive mistake

  • Writers who want calm, honest guidance instead of noise

A note from me 

I wrote this guide as:

  • A traditionally published author

  • An indie published author

  • And someone who has watched many writers spend money, energy, and hope in ways that didn’t always serve them

My goal is not to push you toward any particular path.

My goal is to help you choose with clarity.

What this guide is not

  • It is not a marketing playbook

  • It is not a list of hacks or shortcuts

  • It is not a promise of success

  • It is not a replacement for your own judgment

It is a thinking companion for a complicated decision.
