Why choose The Happy Self-Publisher?
YOUR PUBLISHING EXPERIENCE
Personal attention. Expert guidance. Ultimate control.
Personal attention
Aspiring authors spend months or even years working on their manuscripts and don’t want to hand over their “baby” to just anyone. They choose The Happy Self-Publisher because they want caring professionals committed to their success and determined to produce a quality product — all done with integrity.
We’ll take the time to answer your questions.
Expert guidance
If you’re a first-time author, you don’t know what to expect or maybe even the right questions to ask. Our team will guide you to make the best decisions about all things related to your book. Whether you are publishing fiction, nonfiction, or a picture book, you get the resources you need to be successful.
You’ll approach authorship with confidence.
Ultimate control
Unlike working with traditional publishers, you get to write what you want, how you want to write it, and when you want to publish it. AND, unlike working with hybrid or vanity publishers, you get to keep all of your royalties, rights, and your design files. You have control over how the book is presented to the world and control your earning potential.
Take the reins of your publishing journey.

Our WHY
It’s not just what we do, it’s why we do it. Self-publishing encourages a diversity of voices and thoughts. When more voices are heard, we believe the world is a more compassionate place. We’re committed to serving authors in a way that respects them, not just as customers, but as valuable contributors to the human experience.
How much does it cost to publish a book?
While you can publish your book yourself for free, we know there are so many questions during the process from grammar to design, ISBNs to marketing. That’s why we’re here.
You get to choose just the services you want without a bloated package of things that will not make your book any better or easier to sell.
You can choose from options for publishing, editing, and book marketing if you choose. Select one of our packages or get a quote based on your goals for the book and the help you need to get it discovered by a world of readers.

I had no idea where to go or what to do until I started with Lois Hoffman’s Author Coaching program last January. In that time, I not only published my book but began an entirely new business that supports it. Her amazing ability to guide me in the right direction and visualize what was necessary has had an enormous impact not only the success of my business and book but to my self-confidence as well. If you don’t know what step to take next, Lois is the perfect coach to assist you along your journey and help you find the path that leads to your success!
Lois helped me stay grounded through the entire publishing process. Her insight and professionalism, along with her pleasant demeanor, made this project a smooth process. My debut novel is receiving rave reviews and the comment, “I love the cover” is one I hear often. She kept me on task and published ahead of my own personal deadline. My readers are asking for a sequel, and I will work with Lois again if I decide to write one.
I just wrote my first book and had absolutely no idea what to do or where to go with my project. I found Lois through Social Media, and I must say she made my adventure effortless. She is amazing, so easy to speak with, her follow through is top shelf. She connected me with all the right people required to get my book published. My book got published and I could not be more pleased. The book cover, (100% Lois) is so amazing that I did not consider anything else. She took the flavor of my book and matched it to a cover that was just perfect. If you have a project and have no idea how to move forward, please try Lois. The best I can say is when I write my next book, she will be the first person I call.
