Lots of people ask questions about doing virtual launches so I wanted to share that our client @Jack Groppel is working with another client of ours, livestreaming pro @Amani Roberts to do a virtual book launch. Join to support Jack or to just see how to run your own! I'm posting their LinkedIn preview below but maybe Jack can share other links in the comments below too. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jackgroppel_quick-preview-of-jack-groppels-book-launch-activity-7404949497061015552-o7K5?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAABYev0BRlzasTC8wKIjnkN5LgRa0QE-los

I have two examples: 1. Born to Run — Christopher McDougall There’s a section where he’s on his third doctor visit trying to solve his foot pain. He watches a video of himself running on a treadmill and describes it as “Frankenstein’s monster trying to tango.” That line instantly made him feel human to me and I was hooked until the end. 2. Stolen Focus — Johann Hari I can’t even quote a specific line anymore, but the way he broke down what tech companies are doing to steal our attention just clicked. When I finished the book, I spent days deep-diving his website, reading all his recommended resources, and signed up for his newsletter. Both authors are wildly successful, but the connection I felt wasn’t about their size or status, it was about how they were real, and relatable. I’d love to hear your experiences... What was a time you truly resonated with an author? And then flip it - How could you create moments like that for your readers? Answering this will help you build those lasting connections that are so essential to having success as an author. And if you are writing a book, or you have a social media account, you have the tools to make it happen right now.

Big Announcement: The BookThinkers Virtual Content Scholarship We are partnering with BookThinkers to give one author, speaker, or expert something most people say they want but never fully commit to: Three months of done-for-you short-form video content. That includes: - Scripting - Production - Editing - This scholarship is for people who know they should be showing up consistently online but keep hitting the same wall. No time. No clarity. No system. If content creation has been your bottleneck, this removes it completely. The winner will be announced one week from today, Monday, December 22. 👉 Apply here:https://link.bookthinkers.com/widget/form/xaW14aeuLuygpJyez0ep

After considering things I learned from Julie thus far, I have updated my landing webpage joetyndall.com having chosen informational and irreverent for my style. Most everything works (more to add as I finalize my book text). I expect to make revisions. You can get to larger full cover layouts for both books by clicking on the large thumbnails. All comments are appreciated, even if you don’t like this. I will survive and will thank you if your criticism leads to something better.

Partnering with a friend and colleague of over 40 years, I am thrilled to share that our book https://www.amazon.com/Neurodiversity-Connection-Educators-Understanding-Neurotypes/dp/B0FLWR1NH9/ref=sr_1_1? has been #1 in new releases in the inclusive education category for the past two weeks. I can't say enough about Book Launchers and the support they provided in this two year journey. We especially love our cover and have gotten sooooo many positive comments on it. Currently we have 14 5 star reviews. Our goal is to get this book in to the hands of teachers all around the world. We have learned so much and are now learning how to market through the Author Launch Kit! Yay for lifelong learning!
