Who this is for
"The hardest part of publishing isn't the writing. It's knowing what to do after you type The End."
- You finished the manuscript but publishing feels like a different language
- You opened KDP once, got overwhelmed, and closed the tab
- You've Googled "how to self-publish" so many times you're more confused than when you started
- Your book has been "almost ready" for longer than you want to admit
- You know the book is good — you just don't know the next step
- You self-published before but want to do it properly this time
- You're a writing coach whose clients stall at launch
- You're a book editor whose clients finish the manuscript and don't know what comes next
- You're a writing teacher who wants to hand your students a publishing roadmap
You're ready to publish. You just need someone to show you the order.
Every step in this tool was built from 25 years of doing exactly this.

Book Launch Ready is built on 25 years of doing exactly what it walks you through — not teaching it. Every step in this tool comes from a mistake I watched an author make, or a question I answered so many times I decided to build the answer into a product.
The thing I know about finished manuscripts: they deserve to exist in the world. This tool exists to make sure they do.

This is different
Courses teach. This builds.
This isn't a publishing course.
It's a step-by-step system that helps you create everything you need to publish — your cover brief, back cover copy, keywords, categories, KDP setup, and launch plan — built as you work through each step.
What Book Launch Ready does
Everything you need to publish your book — in the right order, with nothing missing.
Most authors complete all 14 steps in 4 to 6 hours of focused work — spread across 14 days or done in a single weekend.
Here's exactly what you'll build — in the order you'll build it.
Before you begin: the 12-point readiness check
Before the 14-day clock starts, Book Launch Ready walks you through a 12-point readiness check — so you know exactly what you need on day one, what you'll build as you go, and what decisions are coming before they arrive. Nothing surprises you mid-process.
Step 1
Book Profile
Title, subtitle, author name, genre, and sub-niche — because "mystery" and "cozy mystery" reach completely different readers. Your answers here feed your book's positioning across every step that follows. Generates your personalized 14-day countdown with every step mapped to a date.
Step 2
Comparable Titles
Live look at the top 20 books like yours on Amazon — their price, rating, review count, and sales rank. Every decision that follows is built on what's actually selling right now.
Step 3
Category Strategy
Searches Amazon's current bestseller lists to find the 2 categories with the best new-release ranking opportunity for your sub-niche right now. Not a static list — updated every time you use it.
Step 4
Keyword Strategy
7 keyword phrases ranked by current search opportunity. Pulled from Amazon's live autocomplete. Your strategy reflects what readers are searching for today — not when the tool was built.
Step 5
Back Cover Copy & Hook
Three ready-to-use back cover descriptions generated from your answers — with optional fields for awards, bilingual editions, and series position. Includes an opening hook line that stops the scroll.
Step 6
Cover Design Planner
Genre-aware questions about tone, comparable covers, and design direction. Produces a one-page brief a designer, Canva, or AI image tool can execute from — with genre-specific conventions included. Tests your cover at thumbnail size against your competitors.
Step 7
ISBN & Publishing Details
Direct links and exact steps for your country — including whether you need an ISBN at all if you're publishing exclusively on Amazon KDP. Everything you need to make the right decision for your book and your distribution goals.
Step 8
Pricing Strategy
Live competitor price band plus a royalty calculator for ebook, paperback, and hardcover — so you price to maximize earnings, not just match the market.
Step 9
KDP Account Setup
Get your KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing — Amazon's free publishing platform) account paid-ready: tax interview, payment method, and two-factor authentication — completed before you upload anything.
Step 10
Manuscript Checklist
Everything your file needs before it goes to Amazon — table of contents, copyright page, title page, and page numbers — with a ready-to-use copyright template auto-filled from your book details.
Step 11
Amazon Listing Setup
Every field in your Amazon product listing — title, subtitle, description, categories, keywords, and price — pre-filled from your earlier steps and ready to copy and paste into KDP. Common mistakes flagged before you make them.
Step 12
Launch Week Plan
A day-by-day 7-day launch plan with 25 tasks mapped to specific dates — designed to get your first reviews before your book goes live. Includes an ARC (Advance Review Copy — a free copy sent to readers before launch in exchange for an honest review) reader tracking log and a calendar download with every launch milestone built in.
Step 13
Amazon Ads Starter
Your first Amazon ad campaign with bid recommendations calculated from live competitor data, pre-loaded keywords, and a 14-day optimization guide — plus clear guidance on when ads are worth running at all.
Step 14
Post-Launch Tracking
Daily log for BSR (Best Sellers Rank — Amazon's live sales ranking, where lower = better), category rank, reviews, and sales — with a live competitor snapshot and a built-in guide to interpreting what your numbers mean. Includes a downloadable PDF compiling every output from all 14 steps into your complete launch kit.
✦ Included bonus
See your book on Amazon — before you spend a dollar on design.
Most authors have no idea what their cover should look like until they've already paid a designer.
The moment you complete your genre, tone, and comparable titles inside Book Launch Ready, it builds three professional cover concepts from your book's actual data — tested at thumbnail size against current bestsellers in your category.
Not generic templates. Not stock photo collages. Concepts built from what's actually selling in your category right now, with your title, your subtitle, and your author name already placed.
Hand the result to your designer as a brief. Use it to build in Canva. Feed it to an AI image tool. Or simply use it to finally see — clearly, specifically — what your book could look like in the world.
These concepts were generated inside Book Launch Ready using a real author's genre, tone, and comparable bestsellers.
This is the moment most authors say the book became real.
Cover designers charge $500–$1,500 for initial concepts. This is included in every Book Launch Ready purchase — no extra cost, no separate tool, no design experience needed.
✦ Included bonus
The back cover copy most authors dread writing — written for you in three versions.
Every author knows their book. Almost none of them know how to sell it in 250 words.
The back cover is the first thing a browser reads on Amazon, the last thing standing between curiosity and a purchase — and most authors either agonize over it for weeks or pay a professional copywriter $250–$800 to write it for them.
Book Launch Ready generates three ready-to-use versions from your answers — professional, emotional, and market-driven — plus an opening hook line designed to stop the scroll on your Amazon page.
Each version is built from your book's actual positioning: your genre, your reader, your promise, and the comparable titles already selling in your space. Not generic. Not templated. Written for your specific book.
Choose one. Blend two. Edit freely. Or hand all three to a copywriter as a starting point that cuts their time — and your bill — in half.
Professional copywriters charge $250–$800 to write this. Yours is generated in seconds and included in every Book Launch Ready purchase.
Before day one
What you'll need to get started
Book Launch Ready picks up where the writing ends. To move at full speed, bring these five things on day one.
01
A finished manuscript
Self-edited or professionally edited, with all closing pages already written — acknowledgements, about-the-author, references. Save it as a Word document or export from Google Docs. We prepare everything you need to publish it — we don't rewrite it.
Accepted: .docx · Also fine: Google Docs export, Scrivener export
02
A short author bio
Two to four sentences about who you are and why you wrote this book. Third person. A rough draft is fine — the tool uses it to build your back cover and Amazon Author page.
Plain text is fine · Third person · 150–200 words
03
An author photo
A clear headshot at 300dpi or higher. Used for your Amazon Author page and optionally your back cover. A professional photo is ideal — a clean, well-lit portrait works perfectly.
Format: JPG or PNG · Minimum: 300dpi
04
An Amazon account
You'll publish directly through Amazon's KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing — Amazon's free platform for uploading and selling your book) platform. If you don't have an Amazon account yet, create one free at amazon.com before you begin.
05
A bank account for royalty payments
Amazon pays your royalties directly by bank transfer. Have your bank details ready — you'll need them to complete your publishing account setup inside the tool.
When you start your first book inside Book Launch Ready, a readiness check walks you through everything above and confirms you're ready before Step 1 begins.
Book Launch Ready is focused on one thing: getting your finished manuscript published correctly.
What this tool does not do: write or edit your manuscript · design your cover · run your ads · manage your KDP account · replace a copy editor or proofreader.
One publishing tool. Everything included. Nothing extra to buy.
Book Launch Ready connects to multiple AI tools and live data sources so you don't have to. One payment. No separate subscriptions. No extra accounts to create. No API keys to manage. We handle everything behind the scenes — you focus on getting your book published.

100 founding spots. When they're gone, the price goes to $47. The founding member price exists because early users help shape the tool.
After 100 spots, that feedback window closes and the price reflects the finished product.
Before you ask
The questions I get most.
Does this work for fiction and non-fiction?
Yes. Book Launch Ready works for any book going to Amazon KDP or IngramSpark — fiction, non-fiction, children's books, memoirs, business books, and poetry. Your genre and sub-niche — entered in Step 1 — adapts every step that follows to your specific book. If it has a manuscript and needs to be published, this tool walks you through it.
What if I've already started on KDP?
You can start from wherever you are. If you've already uploaded your manuscript and set up some metadata, the tool lets you skip completed steps and focus on what's missing — categories, keywords, your author page, or your review strategy. Many authors use it to fix a book that's already live but not performing.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The tool is built specifically for authors — not developers, not marketers. Every field is explained, every decision is guided, and every technical term is defined the first time it appears. If you can write a book, you can use this tool.
What if I can't finish in 14 days?
14 days is the target, not a deadline. Your progress saves automatically so you can stop and return at any point. Some authors finish in a weekend. Others take six weeks. The tool works at your pace — the 14-day framing is there to show you it's achievable, not to pressure you.
Do I keep 100% of my royalties?
Yes — completely. Book Launch Ready is a publishing tool, not a publisher. You publish directly to KDP and IngramSpark under your own account. Every royalty goes directly to you. We never take a cut of your sales.
What happens when the 100 founding spots are gone?
Once all 100 founding member spots are claimed, the price rises to $47 per book for everyone who joins after. Founding members keep their $37 rate forever — even if we add features or raise prices later. And yes, it's lifetime access: buy today, come back in a year or two when your manuscript is ready. Publishing your next book? Each new title gets its own Book Launch Ready purchase — so every book gets a fresh strategy built on live Amazon data at the time you publish it. As a founding member you always pay $37. Never the new price.
