The complete course to teach you how to
self-publish your book project and launch
your career as an Author-Entrepreneur

"Writing a book is an accomplishment to be proud of - getting it published and into the hands of the readers is the key to the huge success you've been visualizing for you and your book!"

You've come to the right place to learn EVERYTHING you need to take that next big step to getting published.

You could spend thousands of dollars going to weekend seminars, and you'd still end up with only part of the picture. The class you're going to read about here gives you the complete set of step-by-step instructions and knowledge to empower you with the ability to:

Ask intelligent, informed questions of editors, printers, publishers, and other service providers - and empower you to "do it yourself" if desired.
Save thousand of dollars in hidden, unexpected, or unexplained-to-you costs.
Choose the most cost-effective and best type of publisher for your book.
Get your book into the hands of readers in a fraction of the time it usually takes.
Start making revenue from your book even before your book is a published book!

Attention all authors!

If you can identify with any of the following,
then by all means you need to check out this class.

You know you want to publish it.

You know it is something special that will help millions of people if you can just figure out how to get it out there.

You also know that publishing a book is a daunting process and there is so much you don't know about the publishing business, so you start to do your research and that is what brings you here to this page right now.

You want to know if you should self-publish your book - if you can afford to self-publish, and if it will be worth the financial risk.

You want to get it published for the best price and get the best product and receive the best returns, so it is only right that you research and get the best information.

Here's a free sample from class 10

Is this information available elsewhere?

Nope! We've looked far a wide and have found expensive bits and
pieces of this information elsewhere, but nowhere is it all in one,
complete package like it is here!

In many classes and seminars, they will tell you that you need to do certain things, like write a great bio or choose a winning title. This class actually shows you how to do those things, step-by-step. It also teaches you where the free resources are on the Internet so that you can get many of these publishing tasks done without costing the proverbial arm and leg.

Everyone thinks that publishing your book comes first, and only then can you market it, sell it, and make money from it. Think again! This class teaches you how to generate multiple streams of income from your book RIGHT NOW, even if you have yet to type the first word in chapter one. Some of our successfully published authors have paid their editing, printing and other publishing costs "on-the-fly" using ideas you'll learn in this class.

Now that our books have national acclaim and have sold so well, we're here to teach you what we know because your dreams are just as important to this world as our dreams are. We want to see everyone succeed. Not only are we all in this boat together, we believe that a "trickle up" attitude will float all our boats together!

You'll learn from the best in the industry

Here's what others are saying...

"Awesome content. Great value."

I've written and published dozens of books... and my opinion of the publishing industry has changed over the past 20 years. What EJ Thornton teaches about how to publish a book is up-to-date, addresses self-publishing and on demand publishing (not available when I started out) and many more topics that are intended to empower the author to create and publish the books of their dreams! Awesome content. Great value. It is a must-have for any author - especially the first timer, but even as an old-timer in this business, I learned an astonishing amount.

I teach how to write a book: So, You Want To Write A Book - Jumpstart Your Publishing Success, but when my students are ready to publish - I recommend this class to them!

Othniel Seiden, MD - Colorado's Most Prolific Author

"This is a common sense approach
to all things publishing."

Ms. Thornton gives us the tools to do exactly that - publish!

There is so much great (and practical) advice in every video!

I recently took a live workshop intended to help increase a book's presence on the Web which was comparably priced, however I found EJ's information actually far superior to the information I gleaned from that workshop.

Highly Recommended!

~S.M. Humphrey, children's book author

"It helped me choose the editor I hired, the graphic artist I used and I have paid back my 'investment in myself' very early in my first print run!"

Inexperience and ignorance are the real first-time author's curse. You just don't know what you don't know...

Education is the key to success for first-time authors like me. I was so grateful to learn a publisher's perspective. It helped me make much more effective self-publishing decisions. It helped me choose the editor I hired, the graphic artist I used and I have paid back my investment in myself very early in my first print run!

My desire to learn and receiving this kind of quality information made the daunting process of publishing my book much smoother. I d have struggled much harder had I tried to do this on my own.

~Keith Weber, author Rethinking Retirement

"This information opened windows on an addition to the publishing world that didn't exist
when I entered it four decades ago."

I've been a writer, editor, editorial director and publisher, and I've had to deal with book marketing in every position. I assumed I knew just about everything there was to know about publishing.

I was wrong...

This information opened windows on an addition to the publishing world that didn't exist when I entered it four decades ago.

Of course, I have used search engines to find or verify information. I knew others used Google and Yahoo to locate books, but I didn't know how to establish my own website nor did I understand how to increase visibility of my particular book through the means taught in this class.

If you think someone will purchase your book simply because you have superior credentials as an author, this class will quickly correct that misconception. E.J. Thornton carefully guides you through a series of steps that will get your book off of a store shelf into the hands of a reader.

Rich Peck - publisher and editor

"I want to let you know that you
have changed my life forever!"

EJ,

I want to let you know that you have changed my life forever! I knew I had a book in me but never knew how to get it out. Taking your classes has given me that opportunity. I was able to learn what it took to publish a book and get it down on paper. I now have my first draft complete, giving me a sample of my book (words can not describe how that feels) and should have the completed book ready to sell in approximately two months.

The thing I am most impressed with is that 8 months ago I didn't even know you or have a book started, and now I have a book, and a loving friend. Words can not describe how that feels, and the only way it was possible was through your heart felt teaching and desire to help.

Thank you!

Tell me more - where's the real value?

There are MANY ways the knowledge in this class will save you money, and make you money. Here's a sampling of the many types of important points you'll learn:

Editors charge something like $97 per hour or up to 12 cents per word, and they don't hesitate to charge more for a book 'that looks like more work.' If your book is over 10,000 words long (that's less than 30 pages), and you apply what you learn in this class, the savings on your edit alone could easily cover the cost of this class.
We teach you powerful secrets for working with Amazon.com that not only will sell more copies of your book, but will greatly increase your profits. As just one example, if your book lists for $19.95 we'll teach you a way to make an extra $6 per book in pure profits. Do the math - you only have to sell 33 books to cover the cost of investing yourself in this class.
Book coaching costs between $50-$150 hour. Wouldn't it be nice to have all your duck's in a row BEFORE you spend that kind of money (if you still want to)?
Did you know - printing a POD (Print On Demand) book in hardcover costs an average of $35 each? You need to make informed and knowledgeable publishing decisions, any one of which could save you hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Did you know - adding just 1/2 inch to the size of your book could cost you literally thousands of extra dollars in printer fees... and the printers aren't going to be the ones to enlighten you ... they'll just ask you - "What do you want?"
Some book coaching services charge $300 to send you examples of book proposals, and $1500 to create your proposal for you. Instead, we teach you HOW to write your own quality bio, synopsis, and other required promotional materials so that your book is capable of selling itself. This is what book stores are truly looking for in a book.
