If you have a website and listed your book on it, can you share it here? I want to see how you offer / direct people to buy it. My book is getting ready for pre-launch and pre-orders. I want to learn where should I send them. One link? Multiple links?

I got my hardcover and paperback proofs from Amazon today. I added a little shoutout to the Book Launchers community for everyone’s help. I appreciate the feedback I’ve received. Still have much work to do, but I’m getting closer to launch!

Most authors don’t lose readers in Chapter 3. If they even managed to sell someone on buying their book, they often lose them before Chapter 1 even starts. I just recorded a breakdown of something almost no one talks about when it comes to writing a nonfiction book: the front matter of the book! The title page, copyright page, dedication, table of contents, introduction… all the stuff people either copy from other books or throw in because they think they’re supposed to. Think about each page strategically. Those pages are doing more work than anything else in your book. They’re where a reader decides: - “I’m in”or - “This feels like every other book I’ve seen” If someone opened your book and only read the first 10 pages… would they be hooked or gone? Watch the video and then come back here and tell me one thing you’re changing 👇

Can you all take a look at this new revised cover and give me some frank feedback regarding: - “What kind of book do you think this is?” - “What stands out first?” - “Would you pick this up—and why or why not?” Thank you so very much!
