Description
The moment you finish your book is magical. The moment you realize you now have to figure out how to actually publish, market, and sell it is… less magical. This planner bridges the gap between ‘finished manuscript’ and ‘published author.’ Inside you’ll find a publishing path decision framework with honest pros and cons of traditional, self-publishing, and hybrid options, a traditional publishing submission tracker with agent research pages, query letter templates, and timeline expectations, a self-publishing project management system covering editing, cover design, formatting, ISBN, distribution, and pricing, a 6-month pre-launch marketing timeline, a launch week battle plan with daily action items, an author platform builder covering website, email list, social media, and reader community, a book launch budget worksheet, a review strategy (how to ethically get early reviews without annoying everyone you know), a post-launch sustainability plan because the work doesn’t stop on release day, and L.A.’s real-talk advice from both sides of the publishing industry. Your book deserves to be read. This planner makes sure it gets the chance.
