Testimonials
Attending the Gunnas Self-Publishing Masterclass with Julie Postance provided a gold mine of information. Julie’s obvious wealth of knowledge and understanding around all things self-publishing provided a strong sense of excited ‘Yes, I can do this!’. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of achievement in holding your book that you published. I now have five children’s books published and selling. Four are a niche subject and I love the idea that they now sit on bookshelves around the world and bring joy.
If you are considering self-publishing then I strongly recommend the Gunnas Self Publishing Masterclass with Julie Postance, as a perfect place to start.

I attended one of Julie’s self-publishing workshops in 2017. Her guidance proved invaluable and helped me indie-publish a book of an exceptional professional standard. My book has done so well. I sold 4000 copies through shannonskitchen.com and now I have made a deal with a major Australian publisher who are publishing my book in April 2018. Thank you for your help, Julie, I couldn’t have done it without you!

I started writing some version of my book in 2020. I drafted and redrafted and edited until I could hardly stand the sight of my own words anymore. I knew I needed help getting it over the line and I was reminded of Julie and her self-publishing course when I was attending a Gunna’s Writing Retreat (I have been to at least eight of these retreats they are amazing!).
I did not want to spend six months looking for a publisher or an agent, and then a further 12 months waiting for my book to be cranked out into bookstores. I didn’t want to wait to be ‘chosen’, I was choosing myself. I contacted Julie and told her my manuscript was basically finished, bar a few structural edits I was working on.
So I began my 3 month journey with Julie and a group of incredibly talented writers on the Authentic Authors Program. Each week Julie drew back the curtain a little further on the publishing industry, and enabled us to take charge of our own dreams. It was liberating to have so much agency over my project – from learning about cover designs and logos, to finding out about ISBNs and photographers for headshots. Julie has a stable of excellent contacts, such as Sophie, who was the typesetter for my book. Together, they made sure my novel was ready for the launch date, and managed to keep me calm during the process! Julie dealt with any issues from platforms like Ingram Spark or KDP, which took a lot of potential stress out of my hands. She was as invested in my novel’s success as I was, which was truly remarkable.
The demystification of the publishing industry, the knowledge and dedication Julie showed, all led me to one of the proudest moments of my life – holding my own published book in my hands. The space that Julie has created for writers of all genres to flourish is unparalleled. I felt fully supported, not just by Julie but also by her recommended contacts who encouraged and cheered one another on the entire time.
If you are contemplating self-publishing a book, I would wholeheartedly recommend Gunnas Self Publishing Masterclass with Julie Postance. Like me, you will evolve, transform, get your book out into the world and feel like your most amazing, authentic self.

Thanks so much to Julie for this wonderful workshop. I was hoping to learn a little bit about the self-publishing process but instead I walked away with all of the practical and creative tools I needed to take my book idea from a blog to a manuscript ready for publication. I’m now working with Julie on realising my book publishing dream. I cannot recommend this workshop highly enough.
Melinda Hildebrandt, author of Amelia & Me
I walked in to this workshop with the idea of publishing my own online book. I left with a solid plan to publish my own hard copy. The rest is history! Such a supportive environment.Thank you for giving me the resources and the confidence to help so many children.
Jo Hirst, author of ‘The Gender Fairy’
So much gratitude and appreciation to you lovely, talented & amazing lady. By far one of the most productive days of my entire life. Pure Gold! Your passion, inspiration and abundance of support and knowledge is greatly appreciated not only by me personally but all the other authors who cross your path.

I spent yesterday at Julie’s seminar. I found her generosity of spirit, her obvious desire to encourage others to pursue their dreams, positively uplifting. Incidentally, I’m also very confident I could self publish a book.
Mary McNamara
The workshop was incredible value and Julie is also a wonderful coach and has got me to the point of having a full draft of my first novel. Book into her workshop today!
Kate Olivieri
Can I just take this opportunity to say how inspired and empowered I am by last weekend’s class – it is easily the best money and time I have ever spent. My dream of publishing a book is now a completely achievable reality and my initial idea which was for a very small-scale booklet-type thing has now grown in scope and ambition. Very excited about it all!
Jodi
I know you already have high regard for Julie Postance, but she’s better than that. She just delivered the best workshop I have ever attended. That was the best money I have spent on the service of information. I am glad I stepped out of my desk to not just the gunnas class but ultimately for this one today.
Julie’s authenticity and quiet confidence….you can’t beat that or would want to.
Thank you
Melissa Pearson
Julie’s workshop was absolutely fantastic! What a wealth of information on self publishing – my head was bursting with information by the time I left. Please pass on my thanks for her generosity with her expertise and knowledge. It was definitely food for though – oh and the food and venue were excellent also.
Rachel Smith
Attended this masterclass yesterday…Julie was amazing and my head still hurts from all the new information. Loved it, feeling motivated and already thinking differently about publishing.
Heather Roache
Thank you so much for the workshop. You are truly gifted. I really appreciate your positive words of support and enthusiasm for all of us. We should definitely keep in touch and I look forward to following your publishing career flourish and hopefully will fill you in on my ideas as they come to fruition. Many thanks once again.
Anita Phelan
I thoroughly enjoyed your session on Saturday – what an amazingly generous day of info. There was not one dull moment. It was exactly what I needed to focus my head on a few ideas (and ignore some others!). It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and I look forward to having the opportunity to use your services again in the not too distant future. A few one:one mentoring sessions sounds like just the things I could use – when I have some words down, that is 🙂 Many thanks for all the wisdom and resources.
Kim Cowen, Melbourne
Your course is really a gold mine for self-publishing. I feel really confident now that it is a real option for me. I will be in touch when I have made some progress, for some much needed mentoring!
Jules Livingstone
Julie puts her heart and soul into her workshop and gives all her knowledge and the benefit of her experience through her training. I am a course junkie and I can honestly say this is the best course I have ever done next to Catherine’s Gunnas Masterclass, no wonder they’ve teamed up.
Julie is a golden person and practically demonstrates how to lay your golden egg, the book that is inside you. I can’t wait to write mine. Highly recommended.
Resourceful, practical, real and enriching, truly inspirational.
Anastasia Panayiotidis
I just want to say, WOW! Your workshop was seriously amazing and I learned more in one day than I could have possibly imagined.
I genuinely feel confident that I can self-publish now with my eyes open and I know I can always employ you for guidance as well, which I find reassuring.
Megan Ireland
Thank you so much for your workshop. It was really empowering and got my enthusiasm going. I love your quiet, determined energy. I came away thinking ‘Holy Moley, I could really do this’. It is a terrifying yet totally enchanting notion.

An amazing day, thank you Julie! Great food, company, and the information simply kept coming! Thank you, it was inspiring, and so very informative. All in all, a magic day, now to put into practice.
Pieta Johann Mcgilvray
I just loved the day’s information, the other participants (what positive energy in the room), the food! and your facilitation was expert – so professional, polished and exemplary. I certainly will recommend the day to others.
I shall be in touch, no doubt. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing of this information. I am so keen to start but I have to clear my work schedule. The day inspired me and now I want to write and publish a few books!
Maryanne Pearce
Wonderful day full of information. Thanks Julie for being so generous with your knowledge. Had a very full brain by the end of the day!
