Self-Guided Publishing

You’re Doing It Yourself. That Doesn’t Mean You Have to Figure It Out Alone.

You want to stay hands-on with your book. You’re willing to learn the process, make your own publishing decisions, and handle the work yourself—you just need the right information or a little help along the way.

That’s what Self-Guided Publishing is for.

You stay in control. Choose the support you need.

PUBLISHING ANOTHER BOOK?

We’d love to work with you again.

If you return to Healing Time Publishing with another book within 12 months of completing your publishing service, you’ll receive special returning-author pricing on eligible publishing services.

Because once we’ve worked together, we’re not starting from scratch. We already know your publishing setup, your previous book, and some of the decisions you’ve made along the way.

And if you’re building a series or growing your catalog, we want to make it easier for you to keep going.

NOT SURE IF YOUR BOOK IS ACTUALLY UPLOAD-READY?

If your files still need formatting, corrections, cover adjustments, publishing setup, or other preparation before they can be uploaded, we’ll let you know.

You can choose to make those corrections yourself or explore additional Healing Time Publishing support.

Upload-Ready Assistance is not a substitute for Assisted Publishing.

WANT US MORE INVOLVED?

You started out wanting to do it yourself, but somewhere along the way you realized you want more support.

That’s okay.

With Assisted Publishing, Healing Time takes a more hands-on role in getting your book ready for publication and guiding it through the publishing process.

You’ll still be involved in the decisions—you just won’t be responsible for managing every step on your own.
