5-star review

One-stop shopping for self-publishing 
“Lieve’s book is straightforward, easy to follow, and covers all the bases in the process of self-publication. It perfectly outlines the step-by-step procedure for presenting a beautiful and well-made book, simplifies the confusing details of “metadata” and “algorithms,” and walks the author through the process of publication so they can get on to writing their next book.”

Mike Cooper, president of Central Oregon Writers Guild

This Book is Your First Best Step!
This book is amazing! It has easy-to-complete instructions on how to transform a manuscript into a published book. The book contains realistic timelines, projected costs, and detailed action plans for self-publishing all coupled with important role play activities of naming, describing, and marketing to an imaginary set of readers. In one exciting afternoon, I had a roadmap to publication in my hand. Four months later, my manuscript is a published book!
