Description
Publishing a book is a GAME-CHANGER for your credibility, reputation, and brand – not to mention a dream come true for many.
You get to contribute to the body of knowledge in your industry, entertain, educate and inspire others with your stories, and get to help people all over the world at the same time.
The second you become a PUBLISHED AUTHOR, is the second that your name, your business, your brand (and your sense of pride and achievement) elevate to a new level.
In this course, 14-times self-published international number 1 best-selling author Sarah Cordiner, will show you the exact steps for writing and publishing your own non-fiction book in print or eBook and Amazon / KDP.
You will walk through the entire process of creation, to pressing the big ‘publish’ button on Amazon and major bookstores, getting your books in libraries, and the best bit – holding a real hard copy in your hands by the time you finish this course!

**Please note that this course does NOT teach the following**:
We do not teach how to draw, paint or personally create illustrations yourself – this is not an art course, it’s a publishing course. However, we do teach you how to find illustrators to do your artwork for you and how to add images to a picture book.
We do not teach you how to write a fiction story, nor how to create characters and plot lines – this is a non-fiction writing course. However, we do teach you how to create a basic storyboard for your illustrator.
Who this course is for:
