Earlier this year, I published my first book, The Story Grid Masterwork Analysis Guide to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone—and I learned soooo much about book marketing.

Tune into this episode to hear the ten surprising lessons I learned from my first book launch, including things like:

[03:10] What I learned about asking for Amazon reviews—and how asking for favors was the most uncomfortable part of the book launch process for me
[04:30] A look behind the scenes at my marketing plan, including how I balanced things like social media, emailing my list, and working with ARC Readers and influencers
[07:50] What moved the needle for me and made it possible for my book to become an Amazon bestseller and the #1 New Release in the category
[12:00] The hardest part of the book launch for me emotionally—and how I dealt with people who didn’t show up for me like they said they would
[15:30] Why it’s important to celebrate after publishing a book (and what my celebration looked like—spoiler alert: it was very low-key but still fun!)

If you want a peek behind the scenes to hear what worked, what didn’t work, what I’m glad I did, and what I’d do differently next time, you’re going to love this episode!
