Book Launch Bundle
Book Launch Bundle
Most self-published books go on sale quietly and stay quiet. The Book Launch Bundle produces your book and plans its release together, so that by launch day there is an author brand, a strategy and campaigns ready to point readers to it.
- Publishing and marketing by one in-house team
- Launch plan agreed before release
- Revisions included until the brief is met
- No lock-in on standard services
The problem
Launch planning usually starts after the launch
A common self-publishing story: months spent on the manuscript, weeks on the cover, the book goes live, and only then does the author ask how people will hear about it. By that point there is no mailing list, no early readers, no author presence online and no plan, and the first weeks of the book's life pass with few sales.
Launch work has to start well before the release date. Early readers need copies in advance, the author needs somewhere for readers to find them, and promotional material needs the final cover and description. The Book Launch Bundle runs the publishing and the launch planning in parallel so they meet on the same day.
- Editing of the manuscript before design begins
- Cover design and interior formatting for your chosen formats
- Distribution help to list the book on the right channels
- Author branding: a consistent look, bio and voice across your platforms
- A launch strategy built around your release date, readers and budget
- Marketing campaigns carried out to that strategy

The launch timeline
What happens before and after launch day
Before the release
Strategy agreed, author branding in place, advance copies to early readers, and campaign material prepared from the final cover and description.
Launch week
Campaigns go live, your existing audience is told, and the listing is checked so everything readers see is correct.
After launch
Results reviewed against the plan, and the next steps agreed, because most books sell over months, not days.
Campaign options
What a launch campaign can involve
Your strategy decides which of these make sense. Not every book needs every channel.
Early readers and reviews
Advance copies offered to readers in your genre. Honest reviews only: paying for reviews breaks retailer rules and puts the listing at risk.
Social media
Content for the platforms your readers actually use, built from the cover, quotes and the story behind the book.
Press and media
A press release and outreach where the book has a real news angle, such as local interest or professional expertise.
Author platform
A home for readers to find you after the first book, so the second book does not start from zero.
Honest limits
What a launch can and cannot do
A good launch gives a book its best chance to be noticed by the readers it was written for. It cannot guarantee a ranking, a bestseller label or a number of sales, and anyone who promises those is guessing or gaming a system. What we can promise is a planned launch, carried out properly, with the results reported honestly.
The strongest launches come from authors who take part: sharing with their network, answering early readers and showing up on the channels in the plan. We plan around the time you can realistically give.
Pricing
How the bundle is priced
The Book Launch Bundle is quoted per project, because both halves vary: the publishing work depends on the manuscript, and the campaigns depend on your goals and budget. You receive a written scope that lists every inclusion and campaign activity before work begins.

Questions about the Book Launch Bundle
Still unsure about something? Talk to a specialist — no script, no sales pitch.
Editing, cover design and formatting, distribution help, author branding, a launch strategy and marketing campaigns carried out to that strategy. It is designed for authors who want the book produced and its release planned by the same team, rather than handled separately.
Earlier is better. Launch preparation, such as getting copies to early readers and building an author presence, takes weeks, and it needs the final cover and description to be ready. Tell us your target date when you request a quote and we will say whether it is realistic.
We can offer advance copies to readers in your genre and encourage honest reviews. We do not buy reviews or swap them, because that breaks retailer rules and can get a book's listing penalised. Reviews come from real readers, and nobody can guarantee how many.
Yes, although a relaunch works differently. If the book has weak reviews or a cover that does not suit its genre, those may need fixing first. For marketing only, see our book marketing service instead of this bundle. We start with an honest review of the current listing.
No. Social media is one option among several. Some authors launch mainly through a mailing list, professional network, local press or events. The strategy is built around channels where your readers are and that you can keep up after launch.
