Hello Reader,

Happy Valentine's Day!

The replay is ready! 🎥

If publishing has ever felt like you’re trying to build a house without instructions (or like everyone else got a checklist you didn’t), this training will help. In “Your Publishing Plan: The 6 Stages of Production & Launch,” I walk you through the full roadmap—from writing and editing to production, distribution, launch, and what actually keeps sales going after release week.

Watch the replay below!

Here are a few of the biggest takeaways:

• Publishing isn’t linear. It’s not a straight timeline—it’s more like a bowl of spaghetti, with stages that overlap.
• Your publishing route changes everything. Traditional vs hybrid vs self-publishing vs self-pub assist impacts ISBNs, distribution, costs, and what you’re responsible for.
• Budget matters (and so does quality). Cutting costs usually means you’re paying with your time—or risking a book that doesn’t meet industry standards.
• Marketing starts months before launch. Not weeks. Not days. Months.
• Post-launch is where momentum lives. If you stop talking about your book, sales stop too.
