- Three-Phase Launch Framework –
- Pre-Launch: build a street team, optimize metadata, and secure reviews.
- Launch: Host splash events (virtual and in-person), schedule a 10-stop podcast/TV mini-tour, and run targeted ads.
- Post-launch: Gather testimonials, refresh ads, pitch speaking gigs, and diversify formats.
- Low-Budget Promotion Hacks – Redirect coffee money into $25–$50 test ads on Amazon or Facebook; recycle live-reading videos across platforms.
- Press-Kit Must-Haves – High-resolution author headshot, book cover, 75-word bio, 125-word book blurb, social links, QR code.
- AI as a Publishing Assistant – Use image-generation tools for press-kit graphics, Kindle’s free AI narration for audiobooks, and ChatGPT prompts to polish marketing copy.
- STREAM Summer Program – Anna’s six-week, photo-prompt curriculum keeps kids academically engaged; scholarships are available via a donor pool.
- Networking Etiquette – Respect event time limits, confirm fit before guesting on shows, and proactively ask to be re-invited after a hiccup.
