Self-Publishing Made Simple

Most authors are invisible to AI — and have no idea.

When readers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to recommend a book in your genre, does your name come up? Your book?

I built a free tool with the AI team I created — Bob, Tim, and Priya — that gives you a score from 0–100 across 5 dimensions: Recognition, Access, Relevance, Validation, and Confidence. So you know exactly where you stand and what to fix first.

I demoed it live so you can see exactly how it works before you run yours.

Takes 2–3 minutes. Instant results. No spam, ever.

Save this post — AI discoverability is only going to matter more.

Why I added a money-back guarantee to my coaching program.

Not marketing. Not gimmick. A moment of clarity: I rebuilt this program from the ground up, added AI tools into every phase, and looked at what I had built and thought — I am completely certain this works.

So I made it official. Follow the 90-Day Way and if you are not published in 90 days — I work with you free until you are.

The 90-Day Way is open. Early bird through May 31. Link in bio.

What would you do with 90 focused days?

Not 90 days of trying to fit your book in around everything else. Not 90 days of good intentions. 90 days with a roadmap, accountability, expert guidance, and AI tools that make every step faster.

Drop your answer in the comments. I am reading every one.

Something I built for exactly this opens tomorrow.

This is what Day 1 feels like: you stop guessing.

The 90-Day Way opens May 12. Reply DETAILS and I'll send you the info.

Denise Abdale came to April with a manuscript and no idea what came next.

74 days later, she was holding her published book.

"It was everything I hoped it would be and more."

That is not luck. That is what a 90-day system with real accountability, expert guidance, and AI-powered tools produces when someone follows it.

I added a guarantee to the 90-Day Way.

If you follow the program and you are not published in 90 days — I work with you for free until you are.

This is not fine print. It is a signal: I am that confident in what I built.

1,600+ authors. The framework works. The guarantee proves it.

Program opens May 12. Comment DETAILS and I will send you the information when it drops.

I've revamped the 90-Day Way.

Not a light refresh. A rebuild.

Every phase of the program now has AI tools and resources built directly into the work — not as an add-on, not as a bonus module, but woven into how you actually move from idea to published book.

What that means practically: the parts that used to take weeks now take days. The parts that used to require guesswork now have a process. The AI-infused framework doesn't replace the work — it makes the work faster, clearer, and a lot less lonely.

I've helped over 1,600 authors through this process. The new version is the best version of it I have ever built.

Details coming soon. Follow so you don't miss it.

[CAROUSEL — 4 slides]
Slide 1: "3 questions every author should be able to answer in 2026" — If you can't answer all three, you have an infrastructure problem. Swipe →

Slide 2: Q1: What does ChatGPT say when someone asks for the best book on your topic? (If you don't know the answer — your readers don't either.) Q2: What happens when someone Googles your name right now? (Your author platform decides this.)

Slide 3: Q3: If someone discovered your book today — where would they go next? (A complete author platform answers this before they have to ask.)

Slide 4: If any of these gave you pause — I can help. The Brand Elevation Intensive is 3 days where we audit and rebuild every piece of this. $749. Limited spots. Link in bio → aprilcox.com/branding

Caption: Three questions every author should be able to answer in 2026.
