Psychology of a Book Launch

The launch of your book is a wonderfully exciting time. In this third episode of our series on sales, Amanda explores the different way your mindset can set you up for a successful book launch and continuing that into the months or years after your initial book launch. There are elements of our psychology behind both writing the memoir and trying to launch it into the market that can cause a lot of distress for authors, and being mentally prepared for these steps will not only make the process go more smoothly, but will also ground you so you can enjoy every step of the way.

Do you have a plan for actually finishing your memoir? If not, we know you aren’t making the progress you hoped for. That’s why we developed The Memoir Method Checklist. This free guide (and video training!) will take you through every single step you need from idea to published marketable book. Grab it now at https://pageandpodium.com/checklist
