Overview
Despite what you may have been told, you can launch a book that is indistinguishable from a traditionally published New York Times bestseller—and you can do it yourself. But I get it. You’ve heard otherwise. And besides, you’re thoroughly overwhelmed by the notion of writing, let alone launching, your book.
You’ve Googled it, asked people about it and still don’t understand how you’re supposed to get a cover or layout or determine the difference between ISBN, copyright or disclaimer. And forget wondering how to get blurbs or a foreword—you’re still trying to figure out what they are!
This is the system developed by New York Times bestselling author turned Launch Pad publisher Anna David. It’s the system Launch Pad clients have used—and as a result, have sold the movie rights to their books and gotten booked on shows like TODAY. It’s the system Launch Pad charges up to $60,000 to do for its clients. It works.
