Go-Publish-Yourself FAQs

What is "Go-Publish-Yourself"?

Go-Publish-Yourself is a free resource site for those considering self-publishing. All of the content is written by publishing industry professionals and authors who've self-published. GPY was launched in 2003, and it was one of the 101 Best Sites for Writers by Writer's Digest three years in a row.

Can Go-Publish-Yourself publish my book?

No. We only provide self-publishing information and resources. We do partner with quality companies (some of which are owned by our parent company and some that are not) that provide self-publishing, printing, eBook publishing, distribution, and book marketing services. Many of these companies offer discounts to Go-Publish-Yourself members. Join now to get publishing deals!

What does it cost to join Go-Publish-Yourself?

It's FREE. Period. By being a member, you will be able to get exclusive self-publishing discounts and offers on services from our corporate partners.

Will Go-Publish-Yourself flood my inbox?

Nope. We respect your privacy. No partner company will contact you unless you specifically request that they do from within your member page. It's annoying to get a flood of unwanted solicitations and emails. That's now our thing. If you don't request any of our partner companies to contact you, you won't hear from them. We don't share your information. We will email you no more than once a month. And, those emails will just be to let you know we've added new content you may be interested in.
