So You Want to Self-Publish?
Real Life Lessons from a 16 Year Self-Publishing Veteran
Take the mystery out of non-fiction self-publishing so you feel empowered to share your voice without giving up your agency.
Your book is not just a book. It delivers impact, influence, service to your community, speaking engagements, event appearances, courses and workshops. It is your best business card.
That's too important to be held back by the traditionally white, predominantly male printing establishment.

Feedback from the last masterclass:
"Sharon is a veritable treasure trove of knowledge. I knew that coming into this having followed her and supported her in various capacities for years. But I was utterly BLOWN AWAY by the depth, breadth, and approachability she brought to such a multi-layered topic. From debunking myths to offering actionable insight to make self-publishing truly accessible to all, nothing was missing from this session. The time just flew by as we collectively hung on to every word. It is a beautiful thing to see someone who has the know-how and the passion to show up for people in this way. I simply cannot wait for her next workshop!" - Asmara Kazmi
