Fantastic reading by the author!

The book is great. But the audiobook is even better. You can hear Chandler's genuine enthusiasm and passion about writing and publishing as he reads his own work. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to write and publish their own book.

Best book on writing I’ve found so far.

Chandler teaches a process that WORKS. He has restored my confidence and hope in my ability to be an Author, and given me the tools I need in a neat little package. Buy this. You won’t regret it.

Like savoring a fine wine that has aged to perfection

Chandler Bolt has hit the mark with his relaunch. I read the first edition before I took the plunge to finish my draft. When I finally decided I had no more time to waste, he’d relaunched this new addition.
This is equally packed with self-publishing gems as the first but written from the perspective of a wiser, more experienced professional.

Furthermore, he is a pleasure to listen to for many reasons. His voice is easy on the mind and so warm and accessible. There is no arrogance, despite his years of experience since “Published” debuted years ago. The current revision has stood the test of time and improved with experience. His reading really convinces you he cares about your success. He leaves no details out of this fail-proof formula for self-publishing mastery.

I will listen to my Audible book often and keep the hard copy on my desk for easy access to all the resources inside. It’s like an encyclopedia on self-publishing that everyone needs in this rapidly changing industry. Bravo & Thank you❣️🍷

36 Hours to Amazon Best Seller Status

Thanks to “Published” and everything that Chandler Bolt shares, I was able to write and publish my book in six months. I self-published on Amazon and attained #1 Best Seller status in one category in 36 hours. I didn’t do everything perfectly, but I learned so much from this book and feel it was pivotal to my success!! Thank you, Chandler!!

I’m pumped to get to work thanks to this book

I am a beginner writer. Although I have been writing for a few years now I have made little effort in trying to get my work seen and published but after reading this book I finally got the boost I needed to get started. If your they type of person who feels like publishing some work is a pipe dream, read this book and get inspired

Bolt of Confidence after Reading!

Chandler nailed it with this one. This book gives you the formula, if you’re prepared to do the work. I took the 30 day challenge and nailed it! I’m looking forward to implementing the rest of the process throughout the year. As a keynote speaker there are so many gems that are interchangeable and valuable to scaling. Thanks Chandler for the Extra Bolt of confidence! Didn’t mind the two minutes investing in typing this either :)

Step by step execution for book publishing

I’m inspired after reading Chandler’s book “Published”. I’m closing in on the first rough draft of my first book and I wish that I read this back over a year ago when I started down this path. Without using empty platitudes he gets you jazzed up and ready to accomplish that goal of writing (and publishing!) your book.

Although im not near to the finish line I’m inspired to have a successful book under my belt in the near future. Thanks!
