"The Self Publishing Trenches II is like owning your own goldmine. You just pick up information nuggets, at your leisure, of whatever size - Huge, Large, Medium or Small. It's 'worth it's weight in g*** - No, I'd better not use that expression, it's a PDF! It's worth every penny ..... and more."

"A couple of years ago, I read David's first "Self Publishing...Trenches" book. It was superb. So, I wasn't expecting this new edition to include so much fresh information, and in-depth insights that no one else seems to share. If you're an indie author - or an aspiring writer - learn from David. He speaks from experience and with integrity. That's a rare c..." Read more

"As someone who's looking to publish her first short story I found the section on "Producing a Book" extremely helpful. There are so many things to think about besides the actual writing. I was getting into information overload, but David's book is helping me focus on what I actually have to do, and how to do it."

"As a writer and publisher of over 400 books on Amazon and other platforms, I was skeptical at first as to the value of the Trenches course for me. But after reading through the 346 pages, all I can say is "Wow". Even I learned a few things about publishing that I did not previously know. Great job David!"

"I've just started a few days ago but I am already loving the training! And then I saw in my email a personalized thank you message from David! I don't know how many units he sold, but to take time to personally thank everyone is very impressive! Many sellers send out form "thank you" emails, but I have never seen any personally record a thank you video!..." Read more

"As a published author, it has taken a while to realise that a system to promote awareness of my work and to market my books is much more important than the product itself. David explains the process in such a way that the sense of overwhelm I have experienced on the journey to date could well be eliminated. Thank you"
