Our signature 40 Day (8 Week) FULL Self-Publishing Package is not only our most requested service, but also our most inclusive.

​Allow the experts at 40 Day Publishing to work with you personally over an 8 week period, taking you from rough, finished manuscript to a polished, perfected, published book under your very own publishing company!

Not only will you be a published author with your very own publishing company but you will acquire the knowledge and experience necessary to publish your next book(s) on your own.

While you learn these skills, your book will be professionally proof-read, laid out, formatted for print and digital versions, cover designed and created, website designed and created.

When you are your own publisher you can expect to:
  • 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.

What do you get?
ONE ON ONE GUIDANCE - Your own personal self-publishing coach!
You get weekly coaching e-mails with Dan and/or Darlene along with multiple weekly e-mail instructions guiding you through the process. Over the 8 weeks, you will also be given an overview of the Seven Skill Sets of Successful Self-Publishers, how to acquire the skills needed and where to go for help.

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]

WEBSITE DESIGN & CREATION - 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) with website hosting for one year after which you can renew for a nominal fee directly with the vendors.

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.

FORMATTING - This is what makes your book reader-friendly! 
Utilizing your edited MS word document, we will get your work formatted properly for quick uploading to the paperback and e-book distributors.  Again, you will receive all files after the work is done for your future use.

UP-LOADING - Putting it all together and publishing your book!
Once all the files are ready to go, we help you set up your 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.

What do you do next?
Since all books are not created equal, it is essential for the 40 Day Publishing Team to be able to review your project to get you an appropriate quote.
