My Thoughts
This book gives new meaning to the phrase “step by step guide” since the author does a thorough and tremendous job of including all of the steps any author will need to successfully launch a book. With details that are relayed in bullet points and examples, the book is an excellent resource for authors who want to form a launch team, manage that launch team and make inroads into the marketing world by following the author’s expert and sage advice. The tips are practical, tested and proven to work so that any author, debut or published for years, can follow the advice, launch a book and not be stressed about all of the minutiae of doing so since it is all laid out so clearly here. Every author needs a copy of this book and every friend of an author should make sure that they have a copy of this invaluable resource.
I voluntarily received a copy of this book. I was not required to write a positive review, and all opinions expressed are my own.

Questions and Answers with Tammy
- Where did you get the idea to write a book about launching books? This is an easy question – I can’t be everywhere to teach authors and I can’t do everyone’s launch management for them. But I so want to teach authors how they can rid themselves of the stress of what to do with some tried and proven results of having a good book launch.
- What is the number one takeaway that you want authors to know after reading your book?
YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
- Of all of the advice and practical tips you give in your book, which one is the absolute best one, in your opinion?
Hmmm, one? ALL! HaHa! I went with a “one word answer!” But if I had to select only one tip, I think it would have to be to have the courage to do a launch team. With having Launch that Book on your reference shelf, you have the template of how to do your first launch team. As you write the next book, you’ll use it again, but tweak it for your liking, but you’ll have the steps of when and why to get you started.
- If you could tell a debut author one thing about launching a book, what would you advise them and why?
Don’t assume your publisher is going to help you with a launch or your marketing. This will be on you whether you traditionally publish or self-publish. So don’t ignore the opportunity to have a team help you spread the word of your book’s release.
- What is the most difficult part about launching a book? How does your book make that process less burdensome?
When and where to start. I give you a timeline breakdown of what to do, when to do and how to do all the things!
- Why do you think that authors need a launch team?
As an author, we can only tell so many people within our circle. But when we recruit a team to spread the news, we now reach into circles we would never have been able to reach.
- How many books have you helped to successfully launch as the “launch geek”? Since 2012, I have participated in over 400 launch teams. As The Launch Team Geek, I have helped or managed over 50.
- Is your book best suited for only new authors? No. It is written for any author wanting to have a launch team for the release of their book.
- Is there anything else you want your readers to know about your book or your experience with launching books? From the years of experience I’ve had on teams or managing teams, the more you educate your launch team members as to why you are doing certain tasks (like reviews), teach them how to do those tasks, and encourage them by letting them know you are seeing their actions, the better your launch will run. My book was written from my heart to help any author overcome the stress and fear of doing a launch team. My goal was to educate, equip and encourage the author on how to manage a launch team so they can turn around and educate, equip and encourage their team to help them have a successful launch of their book. And the next, and next, and next!!
