The Strategies Behind a Successful Book Launch
The first few weeks after launch often hold the key to a book's lifelong success. To make sure you make the most of your launch period, you'll need a proper plan in place.
In this workshop, Reedsy's co-founder Ricardo Fayet will show you how to craft and execute the perfect launch strategy for your next release. In particular, he'll cover:

• how to nail your product page

• how to collect reviews even before you launch

• a proper strategy to tickle the retailers' algorithms

• the most effective tactics to boost your sales right after launch

Webinar: Indie Publishing with Sander Ruys, Founder of Maven Publishing

First-time authors may decide to publish their novels outside the traditional publishing industry. These writers can try self-publishing, or they can explore the ever-expanding network of independent publishing houses that hold a share of the literary market.

During this webinar, Founder of Maven Publishing, Sander Ruys & Founder of Storyhouse Works Hannah Huber will have a conversation about the ins & outs, and pros & cons of self-publishing vs independent publishing houses. There's plenty of room for Q&A and discussion.

• how does an independent publishing house operate?

• what type of author is a good match for self-publishing vs an indie publisher?

• how much guidance does an indie publishing house provide?

• what do author royalties look like with each?

• how do I find the right indie publishing house for my work?

• how much choice do I have in my editor, cover design, and overall look & feel of my book?

Maven Publishing is a publishing house specialized in making scientific knowledge about human behavior accessible. Maven Publishing publishes books, e-books and audiobooks and organizes Club Maven.
