Welcome to my guide on writing, editing and publishing your own self-help book in less than a month. Listen to the podcast episode or read the article below. Read on for the exact actions you can take to be a self-published author in 30 days or less. So many people want to write and publish a book these days. However, they don’t have the confidence to actually do it, don’t believe in their abilities, don’t know where to start, have doubts and fear failure, think others will make fun of them and no one would take their new endeavor seriously. Well, guess what? You can do it. Even if you’re not a writer, or an expert in any field, or even if you don’t really like reading. Truth is, everyone carries at least a few books in their head. We’re complicated individuals, have been through a lot and are one of a kind. If we decide to share that with the world and present it in a way that the publishing industry will approve, we can even make a fortune and be a full-time author.

They’re long, you need to follow the plot all the time, to make hundreds of notes and remember many little details that will need to be mentioned again later in the book. Also, it’s not an easy thing to sell as people aren’t directly looking for it, and don’t actually need it. But if you’re a newbie, just want to try things out, have something to share with the world, want to see if writing is your thing, or wanna teach through writing, the right direction for you is personal development. The self-help industry is huge and people will always have the same issues – those discussed in the bestselling books – so that’s an evergreen market. Also, it’s the easiest genre to write. You may assume that it’s not your thing simply because you haven’t tried it, or because you’ve seen many step by step processes and hacks taught in self-help books but haven’t experienced results. There’s much more to self-improvement than that. Now, here are some of the topics you can write about inside your first book:
