One of the biggest mistakes I see authors make is waiting until their book is published before thinking about marketing. In my experience, the real growth starts before launch. What helped me the most was building visibility early, creating a launch plan, staying consistent with promotion, and making sure readers knew my book existed before release day. That's the approach I used with In Her Own League, and it completely changed how I looked at publishing. A great book is important, but readers can't buy a book they've never discovered. If you're writing your next book, don't wait until it's published to think about marketing. Start building your audience now, connect with readers in your genre, and create a simple roadmap for your launch. Even small, consistent steps can make a huge difference over time. Question: At what stage do you usually start thinking about marketing your book before you publish, after you publish, or only when sales begin to slow down?

It's official! Her debut book, ***Righteous Hunter,*** is published! Dionne, thank you for trusting the process, showing up even when it wasn't easy, and having the courage to share your story. You didn't just write a book—you left a legacy. Now it's our turn to show up for her. Here's what I need you to do: 💥Grab your copy. 💥 Drop a in the comments after you order. 💥Share this post so someone else can discover this incredible author. 💥Leave an Amazon review after you finish reading—it means more than you know. Grab your copy here: https://a.co/d/08uHLMof And yes... I was EXTRA on the live. That's how I get about my people I celebrate BIG. I celebrate obedience. I celebrate courage. I celebrate people who stop saying, "One day," and finally say, **"Day One."** If you've ever said... "I have a book in me." "I'll write it when life slows down." "Maybe next year." Let Dionne's story be your reminder that **your story can't change lives while it's trapped inside your head.** **BOOK BONUS!** DM me a screenshot of your **Righteous Hunter** purchase, and I'll gift **you—or someone you love—ONE FREE MONTH inside the 90-Day Author System** to help you start writing your own book. Let's make this launch one to remember! 🥂Congratulations again, **Author Dionne Person Francis!** 👏🏾👏🏾
