Welcome to Launch Pad!

Launch Pad is a fully realized, three book series published by Red Penguin Books presented in a wonderfully organized manner, and it was my great privilege to contribute a piece on How to Be a Good Literary Citizen to Book Three, which yesterday released, and whose book cover is above.

Your book is written, and published, and headed for the NY Times Best Seller List! Ah, if only that were true. Regardless of the path that got you here, even award-winning bestsellers have to embrace a marketing plan that helps their book soar.

LAUNCH PAD: The Countdown to Marketing Your Book.

From Dan Blank’s marketing mindset guidance to practical tips on leveraging social media, book clubs, reviews, and so much more, this book, the third in a series of three on writing, publishing, and marketing your book, LAUNCH PAD will help you get it done! Each focused chapter engages you in a process that will raise your marketing IQ, build your skill set, and set you on a path for a successful book launch and marketing plan. Replete with countdown tips, ways to connect directly to the authors, and bonus downloadable planning sheets, LAUNCH PAD delivers a marketing book that speaks right to you.

A bit about the Launch Pad series:

“LAUNCH PAD: The Countdown to Marketing Your Book is a friendly and accessible collection of essays from industry experts that will help any writer put their best marketing foot forward. You can flip to a specific chapter to find answers to your burning questions or read it cover to cover for an in-depth overview of useful marketing tips and tricks.”

― James River Writers

I cannot recommend this series highly enough, for in this day and age, an author must be painstakingly prepared to launch their book. With total conviction, I will tell you that the Launch Pad series will help to create a remarkably streamlined and efficient marketing foundation. The series is available where all books are sold!

I take my hat off to the organizers of the Launch Pad series. Mary Helen Sheriff and Grace Sammon are two of the hardest working authors I’ve had the pleasure to come across in my years as a working author. Both writers have penned delightful fiction, and both have devoted their days to helping other authors in their careers.

Grace Sammon is an award-winning podcaster, and one of the best author interviewers out there! You can join Grace Sammon at the LAUNCH PAD for her new, fast-paced, radio show and podcast that celebrates new book releases and the authors that created them.  Grace is the founder of Author Talk Network, the author of four books, including her latest novel The Eves, and the host of The Storytellers radio show and podcast.

Here is Grace’s wonderful novel, The Eves!
