Before You Hit Publish

A Practical Guide for Building Buzz, Finding Readers, and Getting Launch Ready.

You wrote the book. You revised it, polished it, and finally reached the point where you can see the finish line.

Now comes the part many authors aren’t prepared for: getting people to notice it.

Before You Hit Publish is a practical guide to what happens before launch day—when you’re building your foundation, finding your readers, creating excitement, and making sure your book doesn’t quietly disappear into a crowded marketplace the moment you hit “publish.”

Instead of throwing dozens of complicated marketing strategies at you, this book helps you focus on the things that actually matter. You’ll learn how to identify your audience, build an author presence that feels authentic, create a realistic marketing plan, prepare your book and sales pages, reach potential early readers, and build momentum before release day arrives.

Whether you’re publishing your first book or you’ve published before and wish you’d had a better plan, Before You Hit Publish will help you approach your launch with more clarity—and a lot less scrambling.

Because publishing your book shouldn’t be the beginning of your marketing plan.

It should be the moment all the work you’ve already done begins to pay off.
