Why I Told This Author Not to Self-Publish Their Book

Your Path to Book Publishing

Self-publishing gives authors incredible freedom—but it’s not the right fit for everyone.

In this episode of Your Path to Book Publishing, we’ll look at a real-world example of an author who seemed ready to self-publish—until it became clear that wasn’t the best path for their goals.

You’ll learn:

• When self-publishing might hurt your author brand instead of helping it
• What to consider before investing time and money into publishing on your own
• How hybrid or traditional publishing could better align with your long-term goals
• The key questions to ask before choosing your publishing path

The truth is, publishing a book is more than a creative project—it’s a business decision.

And sometimes, the smartest move is to pause, reassess, and choose the path that gives you both credibility and longevity.

🎧 Tune in to learn how to evaluate your options, protect your investment, and make sure your publishing choice supports the kind of author—and business—you want to build.
