PROGRAM
Fundamentals of Fiction & Story
If you’re like most of our fiction authors, you’ve tried to write a book before, maybe even more than one, two…perhaps more then five, but for some reason you get stuck. You’re not sure what to do next or what a good book really requires.
And if you want to write books for a living? Well, there’s even more to learn in order to make those dreams a reality. But while it can seem scary and confusing with so much mismatched information out there, we’re here to offer you exactly what you’re looking for:
A step-by-step curriculum with 1-on-1 and group coaching to keep you accountable and teach you how to first write a quality novel readers will love, and then how to publish it successfully.
Our flagship fiction program was developed by a bestselling author with years of experience in both self-publishing and the traditional industry he’s stepped away from, in order to help educate and guide you on the craft of writing while also giving you the tools and skills necessary to build a launch team, publish your book successfully, and connect with other writers with our exclusive Mastermind Community.

Lifetime of Being Inspired by Books > Becoming an Author Herself
Nancy has always loved books since she was 17-years-old. She always wanted to write and publish herself, but couldn’t find the resources. After learning about Self-Publishing School, she realized it was something that’s actually accessible…and possible. This helped Nancy push her fears aside and take action on her lifelong dream.
“I have found the coaching in particular to be really helpful. I felt like that really accelerated my progress as a writer. I’d never written fiction before, but [my coach] got on calls with me and really showed me and guided me to believe I had a story inside of me that I could write about.” – Nancy Hillis
From Rough Draft With No Idea of What to do Next to Published Bestselling Author
Kim started writing a book 6-7 years prior, leaving the manuscript to collect dust in a drawer. After discovering Self-Publishing School, she learned from our free resources for two years before finally deciding to put herself (and her book) first by joining our program. Now she has published four books successfully using our proprietary systems and exclusive Mastermind Community.
“I published [my first book] in september of 2017 and as of september 2019, I’ve hit 10,000 units sold. I’ve got two books out since then, and will get a fourth one out. Self-Publishing School has really given me the tools to pursue my dream of becoming an author.” – Kim Diede
Started Writing at 19 to Having Books in Libraries
Tasche started writing her first book at 19-years-old, but pushed it aside for nearly 20 years before she decided it was time to chase her dreams…but her first try at publishing herself flopped. After signing up for a free training offered by Self-Publishing School, she realized we knew how to teach her to position her book better, get more views, buys, and reviewers. Since, she has continued to be inspired to write and become an author, acquiring speaking engagements at school that house her books in their libraries.
“What attracted me initially was that I felt like the program and courses could help me sell my first book better, and get more reviews and more eyes on it, and I was really having trouble doing that. But then once I got in the course, I was inspired to continue writing.” – Tasche Laine

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: I’ve read that you provide some “Done for You” services. What does that include?
Great question! We have learned over the years that the writing is actually the easy part. But things like cover design, formatting, author websites, getting your ISBN number are some of the tasks that slow busy people like you down and often are roadblocks that end up costing you thousands to get done elsewhere. Most other companies just give you “advice” about how or where to get these tasks done and then you have to go pay even more money for them elsewhere. But here at Self-Publishing School we actually provide all of these things to you within our different programs. We have hired some of the best professional cover designers and book formatters in the world who will personally design your cover and format your book. Best part is that it’s included in our programs! Schedule a call now to talk to one of our coaches and learn more about these amazing services that won’t cost you a dime extra!
Q2: Do you help me even if my book is already written?
Q3: Are you a publishing house or will you publish the book on Amazon for me?
Q4: How long does it take to be able to write fiction full-time?
Q5: Can I still get traditionally published if I self-publish my book now?
Authors like Margaret Atwood (Handmaid’s Tale), Andy Weir (The Martian), and E.L. James (Fifty Shades of Grey) all started by self-publishing.
Q6: Do I have to book a call in order to get started?
Yes! Part of our enrollment process includes a 1-hour call with a Publishing Success Strategist to ensure you’re a good fit for us, we’re a good fit for you, and to get you started in the right program and with the right coach to fit your needs.
You can start by scheduling your call right here.
Q7: Do you take royalties from my published book?
Absolutely not. We are an online education company, not a publisher, which means you keep 100% of the profits you make from your book royalties, unlike traditionally published authors making sometimes less than 10% of their book’s earnings.
Q8: Do you offer payment plans for your programs?
Yes. Our payment plans are listed alongside the pay-in-full pricing.
Q9: How long do I have access to the program for?
For life! You’ll maintain your login and access to the online program portion forever.
Q10: What is “group coaching”?
Our group coaching calls happen daily, and you’re free to join whichever call makes sense with the stage you’re in. These allow for our authors to mingle, ask questions and get answers, learn from one another, and make progress together, fully guided by one of our own coaches.
Q11: What types of books do you teach us to publish (paperback, audiobooks, genres)?
We teach you how to create and self-publish all types of books (even hardback). This includes ebook, Kindle, paperback, children’s books, and the entire audiobook production and publishing process as well.
Q12: Do you ONLY help write and publish a book?
Nope! Here at Self-Publishing School, we can help you write and publish a book successfully AND continue your success Beyond The Book, no matter your goals. We have programs to help you gain promotion for your book via PR and Speaking, sell more books on Amazon through advanced marketing tactics, and even help you build and launch an online course that’s connected to your book and mission.
Q13: Do you edit the book and design the cover for me?
Yes.
Q14: How soon can I start?
If there is a time available for your 1-hour strategy call today, you can start as soon as today! Ultimately, you can start the very same day you decide to join Self-Publishing School with immediate program login access.
Q15: Why should I choose to work with SPS instead of a publisher or another Self Publishing Company?
Self-Publishing School is dedicated to giving you the tools to create real change for yourself with our industry-breaking methods and techniques. As one of the earliest companies in the self-publishing game (before it was “mainstream” to consider self-publishing), we believe in teaching you to fish to feed yourself for a lifetime, instead of simply handing you the fish and then charging you each time you need to eat again. By working with us, you will grow a larger network of like-minded people, stronger skills in goal setting and self-motivation, and you will ultimately learn how to achieve your goals—repeatedly.
Q16: How is the Children’s Book School different from Fundamentals of Fiction?
Self-Publishing School is dedicated to giving you the tools to create real change for yourself with our industry-breaking methods and techniques.
