How to Organize a Book Launch Team and the Benefits

Troy Lambert — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 19:56:14 GMT

Current Revision posted to Launch Parties by Troy Lambert on 2/17/2023 7:56:14 PM

You've worked really hard on writing, revising, and choosing a publishing path for your book, so the last thing you want to do is release your book without a solid launch plan. Author and editor Troy Lambert encourages authors to put together a "launch team" before your release date. The best place to find members for this team is your email newsletter mailing list. Lambert recommends inviting your followers to be a part of your exclusive launch team, offering early review copies so that they can post reviews as soon as your book goes live. These followers become your ambassadors and help spread the word about your book, which can be very powerful. Lambert says by using your email mailing list to build this team and communicate with members, you own and control everything.

The Pros and Cons of Releasing Multiple Books Simultaneously

Jonathan Brown — Fri, 20 Mar 2020 15:58:26 GMT

Current Revision posted to Launch Parties by Jonathan Brown on 3/20/2020 3:58:26 PM

Author Jonathan Brown has experienced firsthand the differences between releasing books together or separately. In 2019, he released A Boxing Trainer’s Journey and Moose’s Law separately in Los Angeles, but together at an event in Vancouver. He found that the Vancouver event was more successful than his two separate events. One reason he believes more people attended in Vancouver is because it might have been asking a bit too much of people to attend multiple events for one author. Even if they want to support you, there is only so much time they can dedicate to attending book events. Brown also advises that if you are releasing multiple books around the same time, it may be wiser to hold one event as soon as possible instead of spreading them out, because bookstores and other venues are more interested in current, new releases.

Author Jonathan Brown on His Strategy for Book Launch Events

Jonathan Brown — Fri, 20 Mar 2020 15:57:22 GMT

Current Revision posted to Launch Parties by Jonathan Brown on 3/20/2020 3:57:22 PM

Author Jonathan Brown thinks of his book launches as parties. His goal is for attendees to hang out and enjoy each other’s company. He always wants to offer something extra in addition to refreshments and a reading. For Brown’s launch of The Big Crescendo, he played a snare drum in the wine bar where the party was taking place – Brown is a drummer, and so is the book’s protagonist. This offered something extra to the experience and made it an even more worthwhile event for people to attend. When it comes to finding a venue, Brown says it all comes down to budget. Authors must keep in mind that you’ll still have to pay a venue after your book sales, and some bookstores will take as much as 40% of your profits from an event.

Author AE Wasserman on Planning and Executing Her Most Recent Book Launch Event

AE Wasserman — Fri, 24 Jan 2020 18:35:51 GMT

Current Revision posted to Launch Parties by AE Wasserman on 1/24/2020 6:35:51 PM

When author AE Wasserman was planning her most recent book launch event, she knew it had to take place in a pub. The main character of her historical novels frequents British pubs, many of which still exist today after over a century. Wasserman’s own launch was in a pub in Southern California. She worked with the pub to create specialty drinks inspired by her books and served a British dessert called trifle. The party, which was supposed to last two hours, went on for over five hours. Wasserman spoke about her work and signed book copies. She credits her large attendance to her promotion efforts; she shared details of the event on social media, in newsletters, through email and postal mail, and to her writers groups.

The Advantages of Doing In-Person Book Launches

A.G. Billig — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 16:13:17 GMT

Current Revision posted to Launch Parties by A.G. Billig on 9/3/2019 4:13:17 PM

After your book is published and you’re ready to spread the word, you may consider hosting a book launch event. These events can be done online, but author and book PR/marketing expert A.G. Billig prefers in-person book launches for multiple reasons.

First, it’s a great way to meet your readers. You’re able to forge connections in a way you could not do on Facebook. Another advantage is that the event can be used as content for your social media. You can promote the event beforehand online, and afterwards, you can post photos, video, and other content from the event. Third, in-person book launches give you the chance to identify potential brand partnerships. You may be able to partner with or be sponsored by a local business. Fourth, your event is an opportunity for media exposure -- TV, print, radio, etc. An in-person book launch event is also an opportunity to be creative. How will you make your event exciting and unique? Lastly, Billig says, book launches are fun! You are meeting with others who are excited about your work and want to talk to you. Embrace it.
