Hey everyone! I’m Shane, Head of Digital Strategy here at Book Launchers. You’re going to be seeing me around this feed a lot more, so I wanted to properly introduce myself. :) I hail from the great state of Idaho, (yes - the one with the famous potatoes) and I’m an avid hockey fan, dog dad, and have most recently been dubbed a “marketing nerd” by some friendly faces here in this community. So, what are these BIG improvements you say?? A More Organized, Step-by-Step Learning Experience: - If you head over to the Classroom tab, you’ll start to see new courses being added. I’m reorganizing everything so your path through writing, publishing, and promoting your book is simple, clear, and easy to follow. A Major Upgrade to Author Launch Kit: - Our book marketing software just got a massive overhaul. I rebuilt ALK from the ground up based on feedback from hundreds of users, and I’ll continue rolling out new features, improvements, and resources to support every kind of book you’re creating. Weekly Tips, Ideas & Discussions: - The BL team and I will be posting regularly—sharing insights, tools, strategies, and prompts to spark discussions around all things book publishing. We want this feed to become one of the most helpful places you visit each week. Premium Access to Deep-Dive Trainings: - We’ve built up YEARS of incredible trainings, expert interviews, YouTube breakdowns, and super valuable resources.Many of these will be available to all members for free (check out the Author Foundations tab!), and we’ll also be introducing a premium tier with access to more advanced trainings and live calls—all at an affordable monthly rate. I’m thrilled to see this community growing into a real hub for authors who support one another while navigating the publishing journey. My goal is to make sure you have every tool, resource, and roadmap you need—right here, all in one place. If there’s anything you’d love to see added or improved as we keep building this space, drop your ideas in the comments! I’d love to know what topics, tools, or support would help you most.

Welcome to our new member @Lita Abella! I learned about Lita's book yesterday and am glad to welcome her to the group. Looking forward to hearing more!

Book sales are fun ... but making a few bucks per sale isn't as exciting as using the book to lead to bigger things!! I broke some ideas down for you in the video this week.

Hello, everyone, after publishing my book and completing for ortho launches here in Australia, it’s time to come to the USA and continue launching my book. It’s all in the planning, and so far I don’t have many ideas of how to approach this. Appreciate any help with regards this thank you.🥳👏

Hello Everyone! Joining you all here, from Florida, to learn from the incredible wisdom and experience you bring; I'll soon publish my first (pre-teen) children's novel. Would love to hear how I can be helpful or encouraging to any of you. Please let me know. Look forward to growing together!
