I help indie authors write, launch, and actually sell their books...without begging the gatekeepers for permission.

self publishing coach

 ’m not just a coach. I’m a publishing expert, book launch strategist, and fiercely loyal advocate for indie authors who are ready to take control of their publishing journey.

With nearly 20 years in the industry and hundreds of author success stories under my belt, I’ve built a business around empowering writers to publish with confidence, launch like pros, and grow a loyal readership that translates into real profit.

I’ve been featured on podcasts, webinars, live panels, and stages where I share real-world strategies for writing, publishing, and marketing books…especially for authors who are tired of navigating a system that wasn’t built for them.

My style?

No fluff, no gatekeeping, and no BS.

Just smart, actionable advice that gets results (always with a side of sass, of course).

If you’re a podcast host, journalist, event organizer, or platform looking for someone who knows the ins and outs of self-publishing, understands the Amazon algorithm better than most, and can actually make book marketing fun for your audience, I’m your girl.

I bring energy, expertise, and an unshakable belief in the power of indie authors to every interview and event.

Let’s make the publishing world a little more accessible, a lot more honest, and way more successful for all of us.

I can be reached 24/7 by email at hello@christinakaye.com.
