SOUND FAMILIAR?

Everyone has an opinion. Nobody gives you a straight answer.

Publishing is one of the biggest decisions you'll make about your book, and the advice out there is confusing. Right now you might be:

  • Wondering if you need a big publisher for your book to be taken seriously
  • Worried self-publishing will look less professional
  • Not sure what you'd be giving up by signing a contract
  • Confused by KDP, IngramSpark, ISBNs and everything else
  • Nervous about picking the wrong company to work with

There's no "proper" way to publish. There's only the way that's right for you and your business.

This guide helps you find it.

MEET YOUR GUIDE

Hi, I'm Lyndsey

I’m not in the publishing business. I’m in the AUTHORity® business.

Nobody comes to me because they just want a book. They come because of what the right book makes possible. To be recognised. To be trusted. To stop competing on price. To be invited to speak, featured in the media, and recommended without having to prove themselves every time. To become the easiest choice.

The book is the vehicle. What we’re really building is your AUTHORity®, and what that brings you is more visibility, income and impact.

I know what I’m doing. I’ve helped create over 100 number 1 bestselling authors. I wrote my own bestselling book, AUTHORity®: How to Plan, Write, Launch & Leverage a Book That Grows Your Business, and I built the method my clients write theirs with, the AUTHORity® Book Formula™. And I've produced 10 number 1 best-selling collaboration books. I’m also a Positive Psychology Coach, because writing a book isn’t simply a content exercise. For many people, it’s an identity shift.

This year I’m proud to be a finalist in the Training & Coaching category at The EVA Awards.

I created Self-Publish or Publisher? because it's one of the questions I'm asked most, and the right answer depends on what you want your book to do for your business.
