When you reach the point
where you can finally say "The End"--
​we are there for you...

... to inspire, empower, and equip you to tell your story,
share your message, and change the world.
​One book at a time.

What began as an idea over 8 years ago was born out of necessity and bred by desperation.
40 Day Publishing has become a process, a standard, a business, a book and a brand.
Realizing that every author should have the opportunity to produce, publish and promote without restrictions.

​In other words...
- YOU need to publish your book. No one else.
- Without taking a 2nd mortgage on the house
- In a timely manner (like, in 40 days maybe?)
- With expert coaching from real authors
- Without having to be a 'techie'

Your Turn-Key Book Publishing Solution!

Captivating Cover Design & Creation

 A picture is worth far more than a thousand words!
Our expert cover artists will make sure you get a professional, eye-catching, brand-building look while conveying the theme of your book.  You will get all the original files needed to publish your paperback and e-books for the world to read.

Editing

The starting point of any masterpiece is masterful editing!
Although we recommend having a thorough comprehensive edit done, you will get started with a basic technical edit (proofread) of your book by our in-house team of editors. [This edit will catch 90% of all grammar, punctuation and verb tense mistakes as well as checking for redundancy and excessive use of certain words]

Formatting

This is what makes your book reader-friendly! 
Using your edited Microsoft Word document, we will get your work formatted properly for quick uploading to the paperback and e-book distributors.  You will receive all files after the work is done for your future use.

Your own 'Book Publishing Coach'

Every great team deserves a great coach!
You get weekly coaching e-mails and phone calls keeping you up to date on the process of your book publishing. Over the 8 weeks, you will also be given a training on the Seven Skill Sets of Successful Self-Publishers, how to acquire the skills needed and where to go for help.

​We upload all your book files and meta-data to your very own publisher accounts with the paperback and digital distributors so everything is in your name, controlled by you and royalties paid to you.
No relying on a 'Publisher' to not help you when you need it most.

Ongoing Book Marketing Training

Do you know what the key is?
You will be given the tools, training and resources to develop an effective reader-centric book marketing and promotions plan.
Includes membership in our exclusive author mastermind coaching group as well as access to a full online course in independent publishing best practices.

Author Website Design and Hosting

To be considered a professional, you must have a website!
Your starter author site will be constructed by our Web Pros while you learn how to use the tools to update and expand. You will get a legally registered custom domain name (www.yourname.com), and website hosting for one year [after which you can renew for a nominal fee directly with the vendors].

Not only will you be a published author with your very own publishing company but you will:

• Make Higher Royalties
• Set your book sale price to something marketable
• Pay less for your own copies with no minimum order (order 1 or 1,000)
• Make minor corrections to your manuscript FOR FREE and have corrections 'live' in less than 48 hours

We have worked with a number of first-time authors as well as authors who were able to cancel their publishing contracts or their books were already out-of-print.
They decided to become their own publishers and make things happen with their book instead of waiting on someone else.
Allow the experts at 40 Day Publishing to work with you personally to transform your manuscript into a polished, perfected, published book.
100 % OWNED & PUBLISHED BY YOU UNDER YOUR VERY OWN PUBLISHING COMPANY.
