Reduce Your Learning Curve and Avoid Costly Mistakes
Yes, you can figure it out self-publishing on your own. But that route is often time intensive, stress inducing, and fraught with mistakes. #askmehowiknow
I’ve been self-publishing books for myself and clients since 1997, back when self-publishing was in its infancy.
The industry has grown exponentially and I’ve learned along with it. Why not take advantage of my experience?
Meet Your Instructor
I’m Dalene Bickel and I developed Bookworthy Academy to help you self-publish with clarity and confidence.
To do that, I dive deep into the self-publishing process, which includes everything you need to do before the uploading process as well as strategies to help you long after your book is complete.
As a book coach, I meet you where you’re at and help you reach where you want to go.
Inside Bookworthy Academy, you’ll be encouraged, equipped. and enabled to self-publish your book in a way that serves your readers and honors God. No hype. No sleaze. Just down-to-earth, step-by-step, Biblically based guidance.
I’ve self-published more than a dozen books for myself and my clients. Everything I’ve learned along the way, I share in this course.

Stop trying to piece together a plan of action based on a variety of sources that may conflict with your values, contradict what you’ve already learned, or not even apply at all to your unique situation. With Bookworthy Academy, you will receive a God-honoring, tailored action plan according to your goals, deadline, and budget.
Stop second-guessing your every decision. No longer will you have to worry about making a rash, costly decision or, alternatively, sitting stagnant because of analysis paralysis. With Bookworthy Academy, you will be able to ask questions and receive expert guidance.
Stop trying to juggle all the things. With Bookworthy Academy, you can kick overwhelm to the curb by learning how to prioritize tasks based on where you’re at in the process.
