What is WeCanPub.com?

WeCanPub.com is the educational arm of Writerwerx University.

This is where writers can learn at their own pace and get the support they need to help them independently publish their first, or next, book.

Who’s teaching the lessons?

Tenesha L. Curtis, MSSW is a veteran author with experience dating back to 2000 related to planning, writing, editing, designing, promoting, and publishing books in various genres. She’s a multi-genre author and reader who works to help writers avoid the most common industry mistakes while better understanding the multiple ways there are to navigate the publishing world.

A former psychotherapist, Tenesha uses her experience helping people manage mental health struggles to bring patient, compassionate, and clear guidance for newbies into the publishing industry.

You can learn more about Tenesha at her website.

When should I start learning how to publish a book?

Immediately! There’s no reason to wait if you’ve decided that publishing a single book, or becoming the author of several books, is something that you want to accomplish.

One of the biggest obstacles to getting started is hesitation and procrastination (often from fear or a lack of knowledge about how to begin). Plus, since you can get a 7-day trial for free, you can check out all the available lessons and then cancel your signup if you don’t think WeCanPub.com offers the level of support and kinds of information you’re looking for.

This helps eliminate excuses so that you can forge ahead with more confidence and less risk!

Publishing a book seems like a lot of steps. Does WeCanPub.com cover all of them?

Yes!

Every author’s journey is going to be slightly different, and there may very well be unique elements of publication that aren’t covered here that some authors may have discovered or created for themselves. However, the knowledge included in the Freeple membership covers all of the basic steps on how to take a book from idea to published product. If you follow the steps in each lesson, you’ll end up with:

1. A small, dedicated audience of people who support your work and are eager to buy your book on release day.
2. A finished product that you can be proud to put your name on and ask people to spend their hard-earned money to buy.
3. Boosted confidence and elevated knowledge that will make publishing your next book even faster and easier for you.

The Apprentice membership goes even further and provides you with personalized live support from Tenesha, discounts on the services you’ll need along your book development journey, and additional lessons and materials to help you increase and manage the money you make from book sales.

Why should I learn how to publish a book from We Can Pub? Won’t YouTube have the same information?

Yes and no.

For many newbie writers, the struggle with using some sites and profiles meant to teach about publishing is that the information is not set up as a cohesive curriculum. At best, the writers get a bunch of loosely related videos presented in some semblance of an intentional sequence. At worst, writers have to sift through piles of unordered, random lessons to figure out what steps they need to take and when. This can cause massive confusion and frustration for a writer who is already overwhelmed.

Instead, WeCanPub.com offers lessons that are presented in the order in which it’s recommended that you complete them. The sequence was built to help you work more efficiently to make producing a solid finished product faster and easier. By being clearly numbered and having content that feeds into the next lesson after calling back to previous lessons, the entire learning process becomes simpler and less intimidating for newbies.

I’m on a tight budget. Can We Can Pub help authors who don’t have a lot of money?

Of course!

The first 27 lessons are available for free and provide text-only versions of the content. This allows you to get the same core information as Apprentices do without paying any money.

Once the membership fee for Apprenticeship is within your budget, you’re more than welcome to join the Apprentices. But until then you’ll have the crux of what you need to get through the entire book development and publication processes successfully.

What other support can WeCanPub.com offer to new writers?

WeCanPub.com is only one of the sites that Writerwerx University owns to help authors. The others are:

GetBookHelp.com

Find editorial professionals to help you with your book development needs such as outline creation, book coaching, developmental editing, manuscript evaluations, copyediting, illustrations, cover design, publication assistance, transcription, and more. All prices are flat and publicly available on the site, so you don’t have to worry about sticker shock. Every project begins the day that both the payment and manuscript are submitted, so you don’t have to wait around for weeks or months in order to begin because a single freelancer you want to work with has a booked schedule.

WinItWrite.com

Writerwerx University hosts contests of various kinds throughout the year. This is a great opportunity to add “award-winning” to your bio, gain some bragging rights, and expose more people to your work.
