Did you know that only a very small percentage of professional business owners have published a book? Strategic Self-Publishing helps thought leaders and subject matter experts leverage their expertise through self-publishing. New technologies have made it possible to quickly and cost effectively produce professional publications that can be distributed through multiple channels. In the past, self-publishing was considered “vanity” publishing, but that is no longer true. Today self-published books are available in bookstores, libraries and online distribution centers.

We help businesses better understand this process and how to develop strategies that enable them to leverage their books and enhance their businesses. We have developed materials to provide businesses with some hands-on knowledge and industry expertise so that they are better prepared for the journey.  We offer assistance on all of the aspects of self-publishing: graphics/layout, project collaboration, printing, branding, marketing/pr, and social media to help produce a professional looking book that will become one of the best marketing tools a company has to offer.

We help clients develop a strategic plan for their self-publishing projects and then help them implement it.

Our History

After self publishing her first book, Marna realized some of her mistakes and began to navigate the process of self publishing and how it could be done more efficiently. After publishing two more books, she learned how to quickly produce books and make them available online as well as having them available to use as “business cards”.  She began to use her books as business cards. After a successful conference on Strategic Self Publishing, Marna has created a package that can be purchased by anyone to help them learn how to apply the lessons Marna has learned.
