You’ve done the work.
You’ve coached the clients, led the rooms, built the brand.
You’ve got receipts and a message that changes lives.
But when it comes to publishing a book that reflects your brilliance? You’re stuck.
Not because you’re unmotivated — but because no one ever gave you a publishing plan that matches your level of excellence.
Hey, I’m Crystal, founder of Goldest Karat Publishing and Self Pub Club.
I didn’t set out to become a publishing expert.
Back in 2013, I was just trying to get my book into the world, without getting scammed, overcharged, or told “you’re not marketable” by a gatekeeping industry.
When I finally figured it out and published my first book, everything changed. That one book opened doors I never imagined, from book sales in major retailers to national media features and even getting starring in an Amazon commercial.
When I started, I just wanted to see more stories that reflected us. Now, I help high-achieving professionals and entrepreneurs do what I’ve done — publish with purpose, profit, and pride.
I know what it’s like to have a powerful message and no roadmap. That’s why my team and I built a publishing process that makes your vision simple, stress-free, and stunning from start to finish.
Because your book isn’t just about words, it’s about legacy, visibility, and opportunity.
And your name deserves to be on something extraordinary.
You’ve spent hours Googling how to publish a book… and you’re still stuck. Meanwhile, other people are launching bestsellers, landing interviews, and growing their brands—not because they’re better than you, but because they got expert help.
They invested in doing it right. And now it’s your turn.

Workbook Publishing Packages
Let's Publish Your
Workbook
Transform your existing book into a guided, actionable workbook that not only reinforces your teachings but also elevates your authority and income.
Workbooks aren’t just books—they’re teaching tools.
If your book teaches something, like a framework, methodology, or system, your audience needs a workbook to apply it.
We can transform your book into a high-impact, action-based workbook your audience will actually use—and happily buy.
Your workbook can serve as a companion product, a coaching tool, a lead magnet, a speaking bundle, or even a sellable product on its own. More importantly, it becomes the bridge between “I read your book” and “I took action because of it.”
Click below to watch a short video that explains how this works—and what’s possible when your message becomes more than just words on a page.
Here's

Mom and Daughter Publish a Children's Book
Aspiring author Shayla Mcghee wanted to publish a travel-related book with her daughter and came to me seeking consulting on the entire publishing process from how to write the book, recommended print specifications, how to find and work with an illustrator, and how to title the book. With my consulting, she was able to publish the first book in a series of travel-themed children's books called Payton goes to Paris. I then suggested that she get more bang for her buck by publishing a boy version of the same book and she did so. Finally, I helped her develop merchandising for her book in order to further increase revenue for her product line. They received a big feature by Travel Noire, click here to read the article.
