Hi all. After a summer recovering from a spring book launch with some negative aspects, I’m close to publishing my second book, the companion guided journal/workbook to the first. I’ve secured an author event at a local bookstore and I’m kinda at a loss. First, are there any resources I’m missing to help me (I have ALK). Second, give me any tips for author events, good/bad/ugly that you wish you knew.

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?

Not trying to put anyone on the spot. Just trying to have a realistic expectation when my book launches. You don't need to be precise with your numbers. A range is fine: less than 100, more than 500, over a million....and how long ago have you launched? Lastly, what advise would you give based on your experience to someone about to launch his first book? Thanks so much.

Ok I think I'm crashing out on this decision. I'm working on the companion study guide for my nonfiction self-help book, and I'm not sure what font size to use. I'm doing large format 8.5x11 full color, and 12pt just looks really small. Wondering if I should bump up to 14 or stick with 12? Thanks!

For the entire month of May, we’re running a 30-day virtual workshop to help you actually build momentum with your book. Here’s what you’ll get: - Weekly group coaching (with me or Julie Broad) - Direct guidance on what to focus on (so you’re not guessing) - A full platform audit for YOU (Amazon page, social, website, etc.) All you need to do is grab a lifetime license of Author Launch Kit before April 30th. If your book isn’t doing what you hoped yet, this is where that changes. Check out all the details here. We’re excited to work with you on this 🙌 ****Edit: If you already have a lifetime license, yes you can join! Just send me a DM and I'll add you to the list.
