Editing vs. proofreading: which does your manuscript need?
Developmental editing, copyediting and proofreading solve different problems. Here is how to decide where your draft stands.
Read articleA launch is easier when the work is spread over several weeks instead of crammed into release day.
Eight weeks out
Finalise your cover and description, set up your author page and begin building your mailing list.
Four weeks out
Order a proof copy, request early reader feedback and prepare announcement posts.
Launch week
Announce to your list and social channels, share your trailer if you have one and thank early readers.
After launch
Keep a steady rhythm of posts, outreach and reader engagement. Many books gain readers slowly.
