“It’s hard to SELF-PUBLISH alone! Here’s a helping hand.” - Sylvia Cary

“I’m a VISUAL person. I hate reading directions. But show me a picture of how something works, and I ‘get’ it. This little 32-page book is right up my alley.” ― Marsha Mendizza, first-time indie author, “Your Own Brand of Magic.”

“The minute self-publishing became a ‘thing,’ I got hooked,” says licensed California psychotherapist, SYLVIA CARY. Already the author of 4 traditionally published books on addiction, her specialty as a therapist, with a book editing business on the side, Sylvia phased out her therapy practice and built up her editorial business instead (Cary Editorial & Book Consulting), then self-published her own book, THE THERAPIST WRITER: Helping Mental Health Professionals Get Published. To date, she has guided over 40 authors into publication. ”Publishing a book is hard work, no matter which way you do it,” she says, “and some newbie authors get overwhelmed, freak out, and flee. So basically I wrote this book as treatment for overwhelm to keep newbie authors from jumping ship - often just because they just can’t visualize the process: What does a self-publishing site LOOK like? If they can just stay put, and check out this book, they’ll be able to reach their goal of being a published author!”
