You’ve finally finished your book. Now what?
You’ve poured your blood, sweat, and tears into a memoir or book project, only to discover how slim the odds are of landing a traditional publisher.
The good news? Self-publishing is no longer a last resort. It’s a smart, viable, and empowering path forward.
And it’s far simpler than most writers realize—if you know the steps.
Join me for a free, 2-hour guided workshop on Saturday, March 14, 8-10 AM PST (10 am CST/11 am EST).
Presented live on Zoom by Kimberly Burnham, PhD, a multi-published author, who will show you exactly how to self-publish on Amazon—everything from pre-work to pressing “Publish.”
You’ll learn:
👩💻 What pre-work to complete before you start the publishing process
🧠 The key decisions you’ll make about your book (and which ones matter most)
💰 How Amazon publishing actually works—royalties, pricing, categories, and more
💪 How to move from manuscript to published book with confidence
No guesswork. Just a clear path forward.
Hi, I'm Marian.
I founded Write Your Own Life to help writers discover their personal stories and learn how to give voice to them.
Memoir, essays, blog posts—whatever form your personal narrative takes—I want to help you experience the freedom, healing, and wholeness that come from understanding and writing your own story and sharing it with the world.
I've invited Kimberly Burnham, a Write Your Own Life community member with extensive experience as a published author, to walk you through the entire self-publishing process. I trust you'll find her to be a knowledgeable guide to help you get your book out into the world.
I hope to see you inside the workshop!
