★★★★★Sunshine RodgersSo I love reading through a Joanna Penn book! She is so informative and really walks through the steps on how to be a successful author! This is my second book from this author. Penn has experienced her success through trial and error and shares the principles and steps that made her become a six-figure salary author! I can learn a lot from someone whose been in the literary industry for more than a decade and has written 25+ books!! In this book "Successful Self-publishing" Penn even includes links and websites to more information not found on her pages.

I found Joanna Penn's Self-Publishing Audiobook both inciteful and supportive, allowing me to return to it in stages so I can get a hold on the process of pubilshing my own books.
The Creative Penn is my go-to source for up-to-date info on indie publishing, and this book is a great resource on the topic.
Great as always. Love how Joanna makes things simple and easy to follow.
An incredibly helpful book that is a must-read for both new and seasoned authors.
The audio quality is great! Joanna's book is full of astute, practical advice that you can apply no matter what stage you are at in the self-publishing process. I especially appreciate that Joanna provides a list of resources at the end of each chapter. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a guide to self-publishing.
A must-read for anyone starting out in self-publishing, filled with accurate, well-researched information you can trust.
With her usual spirit and deep experience as a self-published author, Joanna Penn offers practical advice and real world examples to provide a value-packed guide for novices to self-publishing. I learn so much from Joanna's experience. This is a complete guide to the nitty-gritty details of self-publishing! Highly recomended!
What a fantastic esource. Short but somehow managed to pack in so much priceless information and tips.
I had the digital package at first, but bought the large format print book for quick reference and hand written notes.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
This is a great book by an amazing author. I thoroughly loved the original and the updated version is just as good.
Joanna Penn has written a clear and comprehensive guide to self-publishing, covering many topics and helpful tips on how to best approach being an indie author. It is very good for beginners but also provides good advice for the more experienced author. For those who want to know the way to being an independent author, it is a valuable book that you can turn to again and again.
An excellent survey of current publishing options. The advice about ethical use of AI in your publishing was thought provoking and helpful.
A must have book! It's difficult to navigate the massive amounts of information and conflicting advice on self-publishing. Joanna Penn manages to condense a mountain of content into a comprehensive and concise guide, which is straight forward and easy to understand. Cut through the confusion and use this book as your truth north. Love how the options are presented and you make your own choices based on your goals and definition of success. I would have never been able to publish books without this fabulous resource and updated editions. This new edition is well worth the investment given how much has changed and the new complexities today in the author world whether indie, hybrid, or traditional. If you're just getting started or well on the author journey and want to upskill, this is a treasure of knowledge.
