What's the Best Strategy to Launch a Best Selling Book? Mastering Book Marketing

Over 3 million non-fiction books are published every year.  How do authors come up with the right launch strategy and successfully market their book?

In this episode of the podcast, Eric interviews Paul Edwards, the co-founder and CEO of Emissary Publishing, a boutique independent publisher focused on helping founders, executives, and entrepreneurs share their stories. Paul discusses the importance of integrating marketing strategies with literary talent to meet authors' expectations and identify the right time for them to publish their work. He highlights how Emissary Publishing assists authors in spreading their impactful messages from unknown to known by reversing the traditional publishing process, starting with marketing strategy, then moving to writing, editing, and marketing.

Additionally, Paul talks about the new book 'I See You Everywhere,' offering principles for standing out and selling more books.
