I’ve been part of some internal conversations lately around book launches, and I’d love to bring you all into it. If you have a book landing page for an upcoming launch (or one in progress), drop the link in the comments 👇 Seeing real examples is incredibly helpful, and this is a great chance to learn from each other.

It could be big or small: - Something you’re stuck on - A decision you’re avoiding - A task that feels heavier than it should - Or just a question you keep circling Share it in the comments. You don’t need a perfect explanation—just be real. Chances are, someone else here is dealing with the same thing, and this is a safe place to talk it through, plus some of our admins might be able to help you get through that pesky problem you're having. 🤓

In past years when I filmed a video looking into the year ahead I said things like 'reviews are still important, audiobooks continue to grow, and build your own audience' and all of that remains true however this is the first time I've looked ahead and gone 'woah - this year is going to be really different than past years!'. Things changed A LOT this year and it's setting 2026 up for some big shifts. Are you ready? If you aren't feeling ready ... let's chat about it in the comments here or on the video!! We want to set you up for success.

Hi all! I wanted to officially introduce myself. I’m Kate 👋 I work at Book Launchers as a Process Expert, and I’m part of the team that runs this group. Day to day, I’m deep in the actual publishing work like managing project timelines, editing stages, layout, covers, distribution setup, and answering a lot of “is this normal?” emails from our incredible Book Launchers authors. One thing I’m especially passionate about is an author-first mentality, particularly when it comes to rights. In 2020, I got the rights back to my first published series and immediately went scouring the internet for what to do next… and found very little. Not many authors were talking openly about rights reversion, either out of fear of “bashing” traditional publishing or simply because they didn’t know much about it. So I took charge and documented my own process in my first nonfiction (and first self-published) book, Take Back Your Book. Somewhere along the way, I caught the self-publishing bug and have since reverted all 12 of my traditionally published titles. A lot of authors don’t realize what rights they still have, what they signed away, or what options exist later, and that knowledge gap can really limit long-term careers. That’s where I come in. I’m always happy to answer questions about publishing contracts (though I'm not a lawyer!) or the rights reversion process and help you think through your options. Happy publishing!

Current: Manuscript is done (including ideal audience member reviews, and edits) Goals: 1) Book Launch Q1 2026 2) 10,000+ readers, superfans and engaged leads by the end of the year (whom I'll continue to serve with paid courses, coaching programs, communities, etc) Also: I have an existing profitable Skool community for a totally different audience and will be creating one for this audience as well, along with book funnels (ala Russell Brunson) where the PDF-formatted book is a free lead magnet and the physical book is a break-even paid offer to bring people into my world... Note: My niche is alcoholics and addicts in recovery who are sober but stuck and looking to breakthrough to achieve the purpose-driven, self- actualized lives they really want (Yes, based on my own hard-lived experience)! Where I need help: The easiest, fastest way to go from Manuscript to physical book, ebook and audio book Who wants to offer advice (who's already done it)? Thanks in advance for your help 😊 @Julie Broad
