Publishing used to be the province of only a few big publishers. They decided what books got published based as much on profits as on writing quality.
Of course, there were the so-called "vanity" publishers. They were anxious to publish your books for a hefty price. They claimed to be able to get your books into bookstores, but in reality, most just sent you a box of books and expected you to sell them yourself.
Much has changed. Today, most books are not sold in bookstores but through online venues that are open to almost anyone. Publishing a book is no longer a long and expensive process. In fact, anyone capable of making purchases online, posting to social media, or writing an email can do it themselves for under $10.
Nevertheless, there are still businesses out there that want to charge you heavily to do something you can do yourself in about an hour. Why pay someone $1000 or more when you can spend a few dollars on one of our digital publishing courses?
Check out our courses, get published, and save money doing it yourself.

Your book cover is the first thing people see when scrolling through Amazon or any other online bookstore. It is the centerpiece of your marketing materials. Therefore, as an indie publisher, cover design needs to be a priority.
However, a cover designer can charge high prices for their work. The money you spend on a cover can reduce your profit. This is especially true when you are starting out and just beginning to develop a following.
Today, digital graphic arts tools make it easy to create professional-level cover designs from your home computer. This course shows you how to use these tools, many of them free programs, to build your book covers like a pro.
Likewise, generative AI tools such as DALL-E, Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, and Canva can be used, to create custom cover designs if you can write a detailed description of what you want. And, hey, writing is what we do best.
In this course, you will not only learn how to use the tools, but you will learn basic principles of design such as color, layout, and font selection.
At $35, if you use this information to make just one cover, you will have more than paid for the course.
