What we’re about

The Chicago Self-Publishing Group has explored the dynamic world of self-publishing and indie publishing since 2012. We're proud of the community we've built and the volumes of valuable information we've shared with our members over the years. We have suspended our in-person meetings at the present time, but if you have an interest in self-publishing, please join the group so you'll be notified when we resume programming. In the meantime, if you have questions about self-publishing or would like suggestions on reputable service providers (such as editors, designers, project managers, author website developers, and more), feel free to email me at kim@kimbookless.com or visit my website www.kimbookless.com for resources, advice, and downloadable handouts.

All best,

Kim Bookless, Organizer


Group description

    professionals who are not writers but want to publish material related to their work

We'll explore all aspects of self-publishing, including writing, editing, design, ebooks, print on demand, book marketing, author platforms, writing tools and publishing technology, and much more. We will feature short presentations by self-published authors, book marketers, and others involved in the wonderful world of indie publishing.

Whatever your relationship to self-publishing, we invite you to join us to share your knowledge and learn from our speakers and group members.
