44. The Book Launch Mistake Burning Authors Out!
Most authors treat their book launch like a spotlight — bright, intense, and short-lived. But what if that framing is exactly what's burning you out and leaving your book behind?
In this episode, we're dismantling one of the most damaging myths in the author world: that a book launch is a moment. It's not. It's a long game storyline. And your book? It's a living asset — not a one-time announcement.
We talk through why the "10 frantic days" approach fails authors, what a sustainable launch actually looks like across three distinct phases, and the one mindset shift that changes how you relate to your book for good.
If you've ever walked away from a launch feeling like it was "too quiet" or "didn't last long enough," this one's for you.
- Why the traditional launch model burns authors out (and why it's not your fault)
- The difference between launching your book and circulating it
- Why your book is infrastructure, not a campaign
- The three phases of a sustainable launch — and the mistake most authors make in each one
- The one question to replace "Am I in launch mode?"
- A simple reframe you can use today, no matter where you are in your book journey

I often recommend products and services that I use or that have been recommended to me by people we trust. I only suggest items that I have personally used and love. In many cases an affiliate link accompanies these recommendations, (including Amazon -except for my products which are mine and not affiliate links) which provides me with a referral commission should you click through and make a purchase. This is always at no additional cost to you.
