About the course
YOU’VE PUBLISHED A BOOK (OR YOU’RE ABOUT TO PUBLISH A BOOK)…
First of all, congratulations!
Truth: Writing the book is the most challenging part, and you did it! I hope you properly celebrated with cupcakes or skydiving or swimming with dolphins (or all three).
BUT NOW, I BET YOU’RE WONDERING…
“How the hell do I get it out there?” You’ve never published a book before, and crawling under a blanket of nails sounds more appealing than blindly launching to the masses (…because what…

First of all, congratulations!
Truth: Writing the book is the most challenging part, and you did it! I hope you properly celebrated with cupcakes or skydiving or swimming with dolphins (or all three).
BUT NOW, I BET YOU’RE WONDERING…
“How the hell do I get it out there?” You’ve never published a book before, and crawling under a blanket of nails sounds more appealing than blindly launching to the masses (…because what if no one buys it? Am I right?).
Or…
“I already launched. Now what?” Perhaps you released the book several months (or even years) ago, and it’s gone as far as it seems it’s going to go with your current tactics. But there are nearly 8 billion people on the planet, and you’re ready to get in front of another group of them!
Or…
“My book came out a while ago. Can I bring it back to life?” Perhaps you have a backlist title (or four) that have renewed relevance, and you’d like to give them new life.
Book launches are not a one-time action! They can (and should) happen over and over again in order to approach and build relationships with entirely new audiences that are waiting to get their hands on the a story or message just like yours.
From Manuscript to Market walks you step by step through the exact launch strategy I use when launching my own books. (Most of my clients use it as well.)
It is intended to efficiently help you get your book in the hands of more and more (and more) of your ideal readers.
The M2M course shares with you the EXACT process I use to launch my own books as well as my one-on-one clients’ books. This process has taken many of those books to bestseller status in their respective categories.
