You need a book launch timeline



SPECIAL OFFERS  |  BLOG  |  FREE GUIDES  |  HELP


The Weekend Edition

What’s the best way to launch your book?

It’s a great question—and one that our BookBaby publishing support team fields many times each week.

The usual answer is both simple and vague: It depends. But it’s not a copout answer. Book launches are never a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. Your best promotion plan will depend on things like your genre, your marketing budget, your timeline, and many other factors.

But there is one essential element to almost every single successful launch: The author had a plan.

Author Shelley Hitz knows all about book launch plans. Shelley and her husband together have published over 50 books in the last decade. We asked her to share some book launch ideas in a recent BookBaby blog post. It’s a great starting point for developing your own unique plan. You can learn some of her ideas and tips right here.

Want some more writing tips? How about “buying a cat,” “staying up late,” and “don’t drink”? The Guardian compiled advice from great literary figures in a recent column over here.


All the best,
Steven Spatz
