Author reviews for book cover
I have my advanced reader copy of my book and have started to share with readers to get some people ready for Amazon reviews at the time of book launch. I also know an author who I think would be a well-aligned thought-leader with the topic in my book. Is there value in asking her to read my book and offer a testimonial for the cover? Is there a particular etiquette or way of approaching this? Would love any perspective from others or videos from the @Book Launchers Team. Thank you!!

Laura, this is a great question. Yes, there can absolutely be value in asking a well-aligned author or thought leader for an endorsement, especially when the connection makes sense for your ideal reader. I’d suggest reaching out in a genuine, low pressure way. Let them know why you admire their work and why your book feels aligned with their message or audience. Framing it as an invitation rather than an expectation goes a long way, and it’s always helpful to acknowledge that you completely understand if timing or bandwidth makes it a no. Here are some videos from the Book Launchers YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/AzOyLquIKxE?si=RXEsOvpzL-3flgm1 https://youtu.be/fzKKwFo2AQQ?si=aOmmA8_KCxEhngGn https://youtu.be/nyAkk7rOi-c?si=GkCVNRTBNerE8LXx

Question about long-tail keywords in subtitle
I have a book title that has a very relevant keyword in the main title with a subtitle that is not very relevant. To that I added a relevant long-tail keyword. My question: For the actual book cover, should I include that long-tail or just the title and subtitle?

For the cover, you will certainly want to include the main title and subtitle. Amazon is a stickler for including subtitles on the cover if you wanted to have one on the listing.

@Jon Peters Thanks for clarifying! So if you were wanting to have the "To Let Go of Overthinking and Relationship Anxiety!" in the subtitle field as a long keyword, then yes, it most likely will need to be on the cover. If you were going to add that extra keyword phrase in the description, I think you should be okay to leave it off the cover. Amazon does have more information on their website: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G201097560

Spam or not?
This appears to be dodgy to me, so I have not responded to their DM to me. But they are stating NFAL Has anyone else received these, or am I just the lucky one here?

Movie Rights?
Great news, everyone! Be a Nerd That Talks Good is going to get turned into a movie! Jennifer Lawrence, a Cinematic Director at Film 14 and Apple Studios, just reached out to tell me that my book has "cinematic potential!" I guess you'd better jump on the bandwagon and buy the book now, so you can say you knew me before my big fame blow-up! 😂
