Hi, I’m LeandroVSilva, the author of the books below:
All these books, and many more to come, are and will be the result of independent publishing, but I didn’t start out that way.
Like almost everyone, when I finished my first book, Os Irmãos do Gelo, I looked for a publisher willing to publish it. I prepared a huge pitch and first tried traditional publishers. That was in 2018, and I’m still waiting for some of them to reply.
That was the first difficulty, so I tried the path many people take: publishing with a service publisher (paid publishing). I found one that didn’t charge an absurd amount, but it was still expensive; even so, I worked hard to save the money and paid.
I was thrilled to see my dream come true, but I had no idea it was the start of a few headaches, although, to be honest, I managed to solve most of the problems, since the publisher I chose was nearby and I could knock on their door to follow up.
I share many more details in the book below, where I also teach many processes so you can evaluate whether it’s worth following the path I chose for my career.
Independent publishing has been the best path for me, and through it I turned my career into my business. I control every process and know exactly what money comes in and goes out—things you completely lose control of with a publisher, where in the end you get, on average, the famous 10%.
I’m not against publishers; some do excellent work. But if you want to make a living from your books one day, 10% won’t get you there. You might make it, but it will take a lot of time and resources.
I invested in knowledge, and today I help other writers turn their careers into their business. They become the sole owners of their work.
Everything a publisher does, you can do—and much more.
Remember: I’m not saying it’s easy or promising success. That depends only on you and how much you believe in your stories. But as an independent author, I guarantee you’ll get more return as the sole owner of your career than by handing it over to others and hoping they make you a bestseller.
Be your own publisher.
All the knowledge in this field makes a difference—and did you know I share everything I know for FREE on my YouTube CHANNEL?
Huh? What do you mean?
That’s right, I make all my KNOWLEDGE available for free on my CHANNEL.
But that makes no sense. What’s the catch?
There’s no catch. I really share EVERYTHING. All my knowledge and secrets are on my CHANNEL, and I’m constantly posting videos there with new trends and strategies that will help your literary career grow more efficiently.
But why don’t you sell this valuable knowledge?
Well, I DON’T SELL knowledge. I know how hard the writer’s journey is. I had a lot of trouble finding information at the beginning, and today I want to break down that barrier, especially for new writers. I even sold knowledge once, but today I have a mission: to help those who want to follow this same path, and to change the reality of our publishing market.
All my knowledge will be available for FREE on my CHANNEL, where I post VIDEOS REGULARLY.

I offer MENTORING services, but they are for those who want close guidance. Remember: even those who hire these services will NOT get more knowledge than those who follow me on the CHANNEL. Here I’m only selling my time, to help apply to the writer’s career all the knowledge I make available for FREE on my CHANNEL.
