Publish Your Book with Confidence
Understand your options and choose your route.
You have a book in you, or already on the page. But between traditional publishing, self-publishing, and hybrid options, the jargon, and the conflicting advice, it’s hard to know which way to go or who to trust.
In this 90-minute live workshop, we’ll walk you through every route, show you what actually happens between finished manuscript and published book, and help you make a clear, reasoned decision about how you’ll publish yours.
What we’ll cover
The three publishing routes, traditional, self and hybrid, and what each asks of you in time, money, control and work
What happens in the publishing process: editing, design and formatting, ISBNs, distribution and launch, and who carries each step on each route
The three Publishing Choice questions, worked through live for your own book: What is this book for? How much control do you want to keep? How much of the work do you want to carry?
What to check before you sign anything with a publisher or hybrid service
Live Q&A
What you’ll leave with

The full replay
Priority access to places in our upcoming “Publish Your Book in 6 Months” cohort
Who it’s for
Working professionals writing non-fiction from their expertise, faith-based books, memoir, or children’s books, whether you’re at the idea stage, mid-draft, or holding a finished manuscript. First-time authors are very welcome, and so are those returning for their next book.
Who it’s not for
Anyone needing legal advice on a specific contract.
Anyone looking for a writing-craft workshop. This session is about publishing decisions.
Your guide
We know what it’s like to look at all the options and not know who to trust. Esther, Keset’s Founder and Chief Guide, learned publishing the hard way. Her first book didn’t meet the standard she wanted.
Since then, she’s self-published four books and consulted on 10+ more, including Break New Grounds by Tobe Nnadozie and From Hustle to Haven by Samuel Adeleke. Keset’s first Book Blueprint cohort brought together 37 writers across 5 continents.
We have no stake in which route you choose. We just want it to be the right one for your book. Your book and your ideas stay yours.
