Questions before you begin

Launch planning FAQs

Do you guarantee sales or press coverage?

No responsible service can guarantee sales, reviews, rankings or media coverage. We focus on professional preparation and realistic execution.

Do I need to use social media?

Not every channel suits every author. The strategy prioritises channels the audience uses and the author can sustain.

Can you support the book after launch?

Ongoing guidance can be scoped separately for metadata, seasonal promotions or campaign review.

When should launch planning begin?

Ideally, planning begins several months before publication so there is time for positioning, advance outreach, retailer setup and asset preparation.

Will you contact reviewers or the media for me?

Outreach support depends on the agreed scope. We can develop targets, materials and a practical approach, but responses and coverage remain at each recipient’s discretion.
