selfpublishing.com is Chandler Bolt's current flagship platform — the evolution of the original Self-Publishing School (SPS), which Bolt closed in 2023 after building it into one of the largest self-publishing education companies in the world. The new platform retains coaching and mastermind elements from SPS but adds done-with-you services including professional book design and publishing setup, creating a higher-touch, higher-price model.

Bolt is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and the author of seven bestselling books including *Published*, his flagship book on the self-publishing process. He is best known for championing the idea that writing and publishing a book is one of the highest-leverage personal and business development tools available.

**Current program tiers (approximate 2026 pricing):**

**Become a Bestseller** (entry-level, ~$7,000) — Coaching, community, and publishing support covering writing, editing prep, cover design, publishing on Amazon, and launch strategy. Does not include editing services.

**Marketing-only program** (~$10,000) — For authors who have already published and want focused support scaling their marketing and sales. Includes a media kit, website promotions, a 90-day social media marketing plan, and a "Top 50 PR Hitlist" (author handles the outreach).

**Author Advantage Accelerator** (~$16,000) — Combines the Become a Bestseller program with the comprehensive book marketing package. Adds Amazon category/keyword optimization, A+ content, and book promo campaigns.

**Author Accelerator Elite** (~$30,000) — The top tier. Adds professional manuscript editing, BookBub/Goodreads setup, a NY Times Square takeover, a professional book trailer, a feature on selfpublishing.com, and live 1:1 coaching with a dedicated coach plus small-group sessions.

Beyond the core ladder, the platform also runs a **Professional Ghostwriting Program** (full done-for-you, including interviews, transcription, ghostwritten manuscript, editing, and marketing), a **Memoir Program**, and a **Children's Book School**.

**Now includes a fiction track:** As of 2026, selfpublishing.com offers dedicated fiction programs — **Fundamentals of Fiction**, a fiction **Author Advantage Accelerator** and **Author Accelerator Elite**, and a **Full-Time Fiction** 1:1 coaching program focused on writing and marketing successful novels. This is a notable expansion beyond the previously nonfiction-only positioning.

**Who it's for:** Entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, speakers, and executives who want to use a nonfiction book as a business and personal brand asset, as well as novelists and memoirists who want high-touch, coaching-supported done-with-you support. All tiers are a significant investment and are not suited for authors seeking low-cost self-service tools.

**Note on positioning:** selfpublishing.com is at the premium end of the market — pricing starts at $7,000, which is significantly more than most self-publishing courses. Authors evaluating this program should compare it carefully against lower-cost alternatives like Self Publishing Launchpad ($597) or Alessandra Torre Ink ($97) before committing. The done-with-you services and dedicated coaching are the primary differentiators at this price point.
