How Long Does Self-Publishing Take

Many authors think they’re just weeks away from publishing once their manuscript is done. They’re not.
In this blog, I break down a realistic self-publishing timeline—from draft to launch—so you can see exactly how long each stage takes (and why rushing almost always backfires). You’ll learn what happens during editing, design, and launch prep, what can overlap, and how to plan your timeline so your book is done right—not just done fast.
