Three levels of publishing support

Choose how much help you want.

The manuscript is yours. What differs is how much of the publishing work you want Self Publish Me to handle. Done For You is our established and most common path.

Most Common Path

Done For You

Handle it for me

A professionally managed publishing project.

You have a finished manuscript and you would rather not learn publishing to get it published. Self Publish Me assesses the project, plans the work, and coordinates the agreed professional production through review and Amazon KDP setup in your own account.

We do: Project assessment, a written publishing plan, the agreed production work, proof review coordination and Amazon KDP setup in your account.
You do: Supply the finished manuscript, make the decisions we put in front of you, review proofs and give approval.

Guided Publishing

Help me navigate it

Publish independently. Not blindly.

You have a manuscript and you intend to manage the publishing work yourself — arranging any editing, cover and interior formatting, and running your own Amazon KDP account. Guided Publishing is a focused 90-day engagement of project-based professional publishing guidance: direction at the start, professional judgement at the major publishing milestones, and a production-ready handoff at the end.

We do: Establish your publishing direction, then carry out the Publishing Reviews at the major milestones — cover, interior, publishing setup and the production-ready handoff — and explain the findings plainly, with one clarification round each.
You do: Complete or obtain the work, manage any outside providers, make corrections, run your own KDP account and submit material in time to use your included reviews within the 90 days.

Do It Yourself

I'll do it myself

Publish independently with intelligent step-by-step guidance.

You are doing the publishing work yourself and you want a clear path to follow. The DIY Publishing Journey gives you guided milestones, a saved Book Publishing Profile, and a Publishing Director that knows your book and your current stage. The Publishing Director is always free for general questions; the paid journey is for one book.

We do: Free publishing guidance through the Publishing Director, plus a paid DIY Publishing Journey for one book with milestone-by-milestone progress, saved decisions and a project-aware Director.
You do: All of the publishing work, in your own Amazon KDP account, at your own pace.

Side by side

The practical differences.

Same book, same rights, same Amazon KDP account in your name. What changes is who does the work.
