How Guided Publishing works

You do the work. We guide it at the six publishing milestones.

  1. 1You create or obtain the work, or hire your own providers.
  2. 2You submit it at the appropriate publishing milestone.
  3. 3Self Publish Me reviews it and explains the findings, with one clarification round on those findings.
  4. 4You or your provider make the corrections.
  5. 5The engagement runs 90 calendar days, then closes with a plain statement of where the project stands.

Guided Publishing is 90 calendar days of structured support, beginning with the work you have already completed. Self Publish Me does not recreate, rebuild, redesign, reformat or repair your project; additional production work is quoted separately. Completion and publication are not guaranteed, and your own delays do not extend the term.

This workspace is the official project record. Brief updates may also come by text or email, and the Publishing Director answers general publishing questions between milestones.

What you need to do next

Confirm your trim size so the cover can be built to spec

Your manuscript is locked, so the next thing that moves the project forward is a trim size decision. Open Decisions, pick the size you want, and Self Publish Me will confirm it against print requirements before you (or your designer) build the cover.

Engagement completion and book publication are separate. Reaching Day 90 does not by itself mean the book is published.

Guided Publishing is 90 calendar days of structured support that begins with the work you have already completed. Milestone day windows are guided targets only. Your progress — and whether your book reaches publication during the engagement — depends on the work you complete.

For print you need one, and KDP can provide it free. Your eBook doesn't need an ISBN at all. If you want your own imprint name on the copyright page, you'd buy your own instead. Both routes are in your Decisions tab.
