Published my first book in < 60 days

I joined Nick's program in early April 2026 with no prior experience publishing on Amazon KDP. By the end of May, I had successfully published my first children's activity book—a milestone I genuinely don't believe I would have reached without his guidance.

What impressed me most was how engaged and approachable Nick is. He has a genuine interest in seeing his students succeed, and he's consistently available with practical advice and encouragement. His pricing is transparent, fair, and exactly as advertised—no hidden fees or surprises.

The amount of content included in the program is incredible. Rather than spending months (or years) piecing together information from YouTube, blogs, and online forums, Nick has organized years of experience, lessons learned, and proven strategies into one easy-to-follow system. The step-by-step guidance gave me the confidence to keep moving forward without wondering what to do next.

That said, this is NOT a "get rich quick" program. Success still requires commitment, hard work, and a willingness to learn. Nick provides the roadmap—you have to put in the effort.

Looking back, I can honestly say it would have taken me at least five times longer to publish my first book on my own, and I doubt the quality would be anywhere close to what I was able to produce with his guidance.

Thank you, Nick, for sharing your knowledge and helping make this journey both achievable and enjoyable. I'm excited to continue building my publishing business with the foundation you've helped me create!

Shameless book shilling - no creativity needed.

Publishing Profits Academy is true to its name, teaching people to publish AI slop or ghost written heartless drivel. Instead of teaching people to come up with truly original ideas that contribute to society, his bottom-feeder approach is to look for underserved niches then literally outsource every aspect of the book writing process. Shameless.

Everything you need, in a very easy to understand format

This course is incredibly robust. Nick and Ric walk you through every tiny detail involved in writing a book and publishing it. They have thought of everything! And the support is incredible too - not just weekly calls, but a member area chat where you can ask questions/get feedback, and you can even schedule 1:1 calls for more personalized support. I just published my book today and could not be more thrilled with the process and the lessons that got me here. I'm excited for the next one!

Pusblishing Profits Academy is Great

Nick Di Fabio is an excellent mentor who is well experienced in the publishing space with Amazon. He's been really helpful for all of the questions that I have had on my journey as a first time publisher. I highly recommend the course to anyone who is aspiring.

If you’re serious about publishing and want practical, reliable guidance, this academy is a must

A Sterling Review

Nick Di Fabio is a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients. He is considerate, responsive, and generous, always willing to offer guidance and mentorship—something that has been crucial to my success. In the past, many of my endeavors fell short simply because I lacked a mentor, but having Nick by my side has kept me on track.

Additionally, after a long pause in my training, Nick's kindness shone through when he granted me an extension to complete it. It's rare to find someone as supportive as Nick—always ready to help, often before you even ask. Thank you, Nick!

Horrible experience

Nick Di Fabio is overworked and he can’t focus on the quality for his clients. After I spent hundreds of hours the past 3 months with preparing my book, Nicks assistant sent me an email that I’m not a good fit with no explanation. Keep in mind, his assistant has been working for Nick for less than 1 month. This is very unprofessional and a disappointing service.

Nick told me it would cost approximately $500 for phase 1 of publishing. When the company he referred me to quoted me almost $2k, that raised a red flag for me, so I reached out to Nick’s assistant for help. Next thing I know; his assistant Rick sends me an email that I’m not a good fit and issued me a refund for his coaching program. Nick refunded and ghosted me, instead of doing things ethically with integrity such as finding a solution for me.

Nick tells everyone in his trainings that it’s between $100-$500 for phase 1 (proofreading, editing, formatting and illustrations)

This is very misleading which is why I am writing a poor review. The freelancer companies he referred me out to after Nick taking $1k payment from me, asked for $1k -$2k for phase 1.

Nick and I have been communicating on LinkedIn since December 30, 2024. I have all the messages saved. I was very clear about my experience in the past with a book publishing company and what I was looking for in hiring a coach.

I also reached out to Nick on LinkedIn to clear this up and he blocked me. Extremely unprofessional!

Hey Kathleen Tamburino,

Let’s set the record straight so the facts are clear:

1. You joined the program on January 23rd and were refunded in full after 7 days, not weeks or months. The claim that you worked "hundreds of hours" in such a short time doesn't quite add up.

2. You came to us after a bad experience elsewhere, and we went above and beyond to support you, granting an extension and offering multiple publishing options to move forward. It’s unfortunate that your frustration is being misdirected at us.

3. You requested a refund, and we processed it immediately. We even have screenshots confirming this. That’s not ghosting, that’s honoring your request without hesitation.

4. The publishing service you were quoted for was just one of several options. At no point were you required to choose it. We provide guidance, but ultimately, publishing decisions and budgets are up to each member.

5. Our team remained professional and respectful throughout, even when the conversation became challenging. As a Realtor, I’m sure you understand that not every client is the right fit. Sometimes, the best decision for both parties is to part ways amicably. That is exactly what happened here.

Our team treats every member with fairness and integrity, as reflected in the many positive reviews from those who engage with the program in good faith.

We stand by our program, our team, and the results we help members achieve.

Wishing you the best in your publishing journey.

Nick & The Team

I have had the privilege of being mentored by Nick

I have had the privilege of being mentored by Nick and the experience has been a true gift. He is wise, empathetic and dedicated to my growth and success. From our first meeting, it was clear he cared about all of my goals and to this day, a year later he hasn't stopped caring. I would recommend anyone looking to get into self-publishing to contact Nick and learn from him. He not only gives you a roadmap to success but also gives you the tools to make it happen.

Fantastic course & program

In-depth, highly practical, straightforward publishing program that will get you from brainstorming ideas to earning your first royalties in 6 weeks' time.

What makes this program stand out is the full access to the program creator, Nick, and his wholehearted dedication to your success.

As the program has grown, this has become a challenge, but there is now also an excellent student success coach who is always available and has a wealth of experience in getting people to take action and finish what needs to be done.

Highly recommended!

The course has given me hope

After chatting with Nick a bit on social media and wondering whether I could even make my current book(s) profitable, I bought Nick's course because I really needed some help with marketing and he told me he thought my book could be profitable. I tried online advertising before to no avail. This time, though Nick's course has given me more confidence with a solid marketing roadmap. The things I really appreciate about the course thus far:

* It's well-organized (there's an onboarding roadmap and list of steps you need to be doing that's written down in terms of consuming course videos/material)
* Nick makes himself readily available via direct message on the community platform you get onboarded into, and there are also weekly Q&A calls where you can submit questions via form so you can get your question answered even if you're not able to attend in real-time

Another bonus is that Nick seems like a genunine business owner trying to help you (as opposed to an "online guru", which I'm sure if you've ever bought anything online, you'll know what I mean).

Thank you Nick!

I Have Benefited Immensely From Nick's Guidance

I honestly couldn't have chosen a better mentor to support me in my publishing journey than Nick Di Fabio. He has a wealth of knowledge on how to navigate the process of launching and marketing a book online internationally, both on Amazon and across other platforms. His training is well structured and supported by regular discussion sessions with other authors where you can get help on whatever issue you're facing

All you need to start publishing!

Working with Nick has been an awesome experience. He offers so much, including a complete step-by-step guide to starting your own publishing business. Everything in the program is set up in such an easy-to-understand way that I really felt comfortable right from the beginning. Starting the program, I didn't know how much individual support I would receive. But, if I ever have a question for Nick, I always get a detailed response quickly. I can't believe how available he makes himself to everyone in the program. Anyone looking to start publishing and growing that business, need not look any further than this!

Super positive & helpful!

We got into self-publishing on our own and were completely lost until we joined Nick's PPA. His guidance has been invaluable. Nick has been generous with his time and experience to help us get on track. We have now successfully published several books, and have a good grasp of the process going forward. Thank you Nick!

I cannot emphasize enough how grateful…

I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am to find Nick and his course.

If you've bought online courses before, you will know that 99% of the time, the sellers/course creators just let you swim alone in the middle of the ocean knowledge, and many times either you drown, wondering what you do wrongly, or you still have to dig really deep yourself and rise to the top. Nick is not the same. Let's not mentioning about the valuable insights and detailed steps he teaches in the course content, but simply the weekly time he makes himself available on Zoom for everyone who has any questions just hop in and ask.

And he even allows short quick calls throughout the course (as many as you need - of course, you need to do your homework and make the most out of his time and his schedule is tight as well).

When you DM him (which you can do anytime you have questions or just want a confidential chat), he gets back to you and often goes beyond what you can expect.

Thank you Nick for all the value you offer!

Great Program

Nick is really knowledgeable and knows what he’s talking about. I was having problems navigating the online publishing world. Nick has provided me with the guidance and advice I needed to get me to where I am today. Really fortunate to have come across his program.
