About
Self Publishing Blueprint
Based on the excel workbooks used in the music business to plan campaigns, the SELF PUBLISHING BLUEPRINT is the ultimate tool to manage a book’s release.
An alternative to online courses, videos, and lengthy books, the BLUEPRINT uses excel to concisely lay out the self publishing process and get you extremely organized. Molded from Allison’s own personal blueprint, the excel doc is the result of over a year of acquired knowledge about the self publishing business - the tips, the tricks, and the pivotal steps.
