Self-Help Books

You could be a public speaking coach looking to expand your clientele. Or maybe you're a working mother of two with a personal philosophy that can help others successfully manage their everyday lives. You strive for self-improvement.

Whatever your expertise, you have the knowledge to make a positive impact on others' lives. And publishing your own self-help book is one of the best ways to effectively deliver your message, establish yourself as a credible expert, and propel your career to the next level.

Choose the style and binding for your self-help book

We offer both softcover and hardcover printing options in a variety of sizes and paper stocks. Self-help printing options include: perfect binding, or hardcover (casebound). Print from a PDF or have us design your book cover and book interior. Here are some of our most popular styles:

Three things every Self-Help book needs:

1

Credibility:

If you want to be known as the expert in your field, then you must showcase your qualifications. Highlight your experience and do your homework-support your ideas and claims with data.

2

Your voice:

Speak with your readers the way parents do with their children-authoritative, yet supportive. More importantly, make sure your personality shines through because that's what readers connect with.

3

Experience & examples:

Writing about perseverance? Talk about that time you fell off your bike, but picked yourself up and tried again. Personal anecdotes are powerful, relatable, and easy to latch onto.

I started writing letters to my sixth graders, and it eventually turned into my book.
