👋 Welcome to Self Publishing for Leaders — Start Here First!
You're in the right place. Publishing a book as a thought leader is one of the most powerful things you can do for your business and your legacy. It positions you as the authority in your space, opens doors to speaking engagements, media features, and high-value clients, and creates something that outlasts any single conversation or social media post. Whether your book has been living in your head for years or you're just beginning to put the pieces together, this community was built for you. Self Publishing for Leaders exists for one reason: to help thought leaders like you stop saying 'someday' and start saying 'published'. This is a community space for professionals, coaches, consultants, speakers, and experts who are ready to share their knowledge with the world through a book — and use that book to build authority, attract clients, and leave a lasting legacy. Here's How it Works: Step 1: Introduce Yourself. Head over to the Introduce Yourself post and tell us who you are, what you do, and what your book is about - or what you want it to be about. Take a picture of yourself at your workspace, with your book or your favorite book (pets at workspaces are also welcome!) Don't be shy: this community is judgment-free. Step 2: Check the Calendar at the top of our community and make sure to add our two FREE community engagements: Group Coaching Workshops on the third Tuesday of the month and our Coffee Chats on the second Thursdays of the month. There's a convenient calendar download for each event! Come to as many as you like, and make sure to invite a friend! Step 3: Invite other Skoolers you know to join the group using your invite link. The more people join, the more people there are to promote to! Step 4: Explore the Categories. Browse the community categories to find the conversations most relevant to your current journey stage. Jump in, ask questions, and share what you know.

My Introduction
Hello Everyone, Thank you to Lynn for the invitation to join this community. I've been in publishing for decades and written more than 60 books for traditional publishes. For the last 14 years I've been an acquisitions editor at Morgan James Publishing, a NY publisher. We publish about 150 books a year and have a very different author-centric model. I'm always looking for new books and authors ([email protected] is my work email for pitches). One of my books from two authors launched today called Your Aging Advantage: https://bit.ly/4qd9QhY They looked for a traditional deal but even with a top agent could not find it. I've only self-published one book, Jumpstart Your Publishing Dreams and sold several thousand copies then moved it years ago to Morgan James: https://jumpstartdreams.com/ I'm one of the top blog content producers and my blog has over 1,800 entries. You can see it at: https://terrywhalin.blogspot.com/ I continue to promote my 10 Publishing Myths book. You can get the print book for only $10 along with over $200 of bonuses at: http://publishingoffer.com I've booked or recorded over 75 podcasts during the last year (as a guest--no podcast) using http://thePodmatch.com which is connected to over 90,000 podcasts. Gratefully, Terry __________________________ W.
