Professional guidance. Proven steps. Your book — published the right way.
If you’ve ever thought, “I just want someone to show me how to do this right”… this is for you.

Ready for expert guidance and a proven plan?

Every day, I talk to writers who feel stuck — not because they aren’t talented, but because self-publishing feels like trying to build a plane mid-flight.

You’ve got the manuscript…or you’re working on it. At least you have the idea.

But the editing, the design, the marketing, the launch — it all feels overwhelming.And let’s be honest — you don’t want to do it halfway.

You want your book to be something you’re proud of.
But right now, it might feel like no one cares.
Or worse — like it’s all on your shoulders.

I know that feeling. And I want to make sure you never have to face it alone.

Years ago, I published a Christmas novella called Holding Heaven.
It was deeply personal — and for the audiobook, I narrated it myself.
It was the first and only time I’ve attempted such a thing, and I couldn’t wait to see the finished product.
When the shipment arrived, I tore into the box like a kid on Christmas morning.
Then I saw the label.

“Written and read by Max Lucado.”

I consider Max a friend — but he didn’t write, or narrate, my book. 🙂

We both got a kick out of the mistake, but here was a full production run — all with the wrong author’s name.
Obviously, it had to be disposed of and redone.
But I had a professional publishing team behind me.
They had it fixed in days.
Most writers don’t have that kind of support.

But now, you can.

Want that same kind of safety net and support behind your book?

That’s why we built the
Self-Publishing Blueprint.

A clear, proven path that gives you the same professional-level support I’ve had for years — without giving up your rights, royalties, or creative control.
This isn’t another how-to course.
It’s a publishing system with real people — professionals — guiding you every step of the way.

Why most self-published books fail

And how you can avoid the same painful mistakes
We’ve seen it too many times. The author:
❌ Hires the wrong company — and overpays for low-quality work
❌ Tries to do everything themselves — and burn out
❌ Rushes to publish — and ends up disappointed with the final product
It doesn’t have to be this way.
When you follow the right steps — in the right order — with trusted guidance, you can put yourself in a position to compete in a crowded author space.
Let us walk you through the entire process — step by step.

Here’s what’s inside:
