Ready to launch your book into the world?

You don't need an agent, a publisher, or a book deal. What you need are mentors - people who have self-published before and can show you the ropes.
Our Self-Publishing Pro course combines the wisdom of three successfully self-published illustrators to turn your book idea into real, sold copies. If you want to self-publish, this is the ultimate how-to.
Will Terry, Lee White, and Jake Parker have self-published dozens of books and projects and are ready to teach you everything they know.
With the live class experience, you can ask questions and receive feedback along the way and review class recordings any time. You'll also receive access to a community of ambitious creatives to cheer each other on.
In this day and age, you don't need anyone's approval to bring your dreams to life. We want to empower you to get your books into the hands of readers everywhere. We've squeezed all our knowledge and love of self-publishing into this 9-week class and can't wait for you to experience it

This course is perfect for any experience level. Whether you're a self-taught artist making your first project or a seasoned professional looking to break away from the industry and create your own passion project. The information and personal experiences shared by these three pros is so practical and honest and doesn't shy away from the nitty-gritty details that us artists tend to be intimidated by. Jake, Lee, and Will are the perfect trio to teach self-publishing. Their pooled knowledge strengthens the course 3X!

Michael Vallado

Your in-depth presentations, plus honest experiential anecdotes, were incredibly helpful. I've been a working artist for over 50 years, and there were quite a few moments when I wanted to say to each of you: Thank You for telling it like it is. Creating artful, salable content, working a business, envisioning and planning project outcomes, learning the nuts and bolts of self-promotion - it all rang true.

Robin Chilstrom

This should be a required course in all university curriculums! Since joining SVS, I have started my portfolio website, increased my exposure on social media, had two books published that I illustrated with a publisher, and am now on the verge of launching my online store and self-publishing my first children's book as an author/ illustrator. I feel like I have the tools to start getting my hands dirty! Thank you, guys, for pioneering the way for all us wayward creators out here in the wild.
