If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming an author, you’ve probably considered self-publishing. You may have even researched what it takes to write, edit, design, publish, and market a book on your own.


But before you go all in, let’s compare self-publishing a full-length book with an alternative that many high-caliber women entrepreneurs and thought leaders are choosing instead—our Multi-Author Book Program at Sulit Press.


💰 Cost: What’s the Investment?


Self-Publishing:

A professionally self-published book can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000+, depending on:✔️ Editing ($1,000–$5,000)✔️ Cover design & formatting ($500–$2,500)✔️ ISBN & publishing fees ($100+)✔️ Marketing & PR ($2,000–$10,000+)✔️ Printing & distribution ($500–$3,000)


Many authors underestimate these costs and either overspend or cut corners—resulting in a book that doesn’t reach its full potential.



Multi-Author Book Program:

At Sulit Press, our program is $7500 - a fraction of the cost of self-publishing a full-length book. You contribute a single chapter, and we handle everything else: professional editing, cover design, formatting, publishing, marketing, and even a best-seller campaign. Instead of a $10,000+ solo investment, you get the credibility of being a published author at a much lower investment—without sacrificing quality.



📝 Process: How Long Does It Take?


Self-Publishing: Writing an entire book (50,000+ words) can take months or even years. Then there’s the editing, design, and publishing process, which can add another 6–12 months. And once it’s published? Marketing is a whole new mountain to climb.


Plus, writing a book can be a lonely process. Many authors struggle with self-doubt, procrastination, and creative roadblocks—without any real support system.



Multi-Author Book Program: You write a single chapter (typically 3,000–3,500 words), and you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Our program includes expert coaching, writing workshops, and a supportive community of fellow authors who are walking this journey with you.


Instead of second-guessing yourself or getting stuck in isolation, you get feedback, accountability, and encouragement at every step. Your chapter is polished, and the book is professionally published in just a few months. Instead of spending years on a solo book, you become a published author in about 3 months.



🚀 Benefits: What’s the ROI?


Self-Publishing:

✅ Full control over your book

✅ Ability to earn royalties (if you market well)

Which One is Right for You?

If you have a big book idea and the time, resources, and commitment to write, publish, and market an entire book, self-publishing might be the way to go.


But if you’re a busy entrepreneur, executive, or thought leader who wants to establish credibility, grow your influence, and leverage a published book without the heavy lifting, our Multi-Author Book Program is the perfect solution. And perhaps the most valuable part? You don’t do it alone. You gain a built-in support system—coaches, editors, and fellow authors—who lift you up, cheer you on and celebrate your success.
