Want to steal the systems that saved me the most time?
There were two parts of self-publishing Creative Kindling that took a ton of figuring out:
Getting other humans to invest energy into helping me launch the book.
And…
Turning the messy manuscript into a book ready to publish.
So I turned the systems I created into a playbook you can steal, personalize, and use for your book.
Get the Book Launch Team Playbook
My step-by-step system for building a team of your peers (not just mom & dad) who are excited to help you get your book out into the world.
You’ll get the materials I used, including:
Strategy around why a book launch team matters for reviews and beating the Amazon algorithm.

How to set up a simple system for people to join the book launch team.
A social media plan for generating team hype including LinkedIn posts you can swipe and customize.

Bonus: You’ll Get My Exact Manuscript Editing Checklist
With a full manuscript of YOUR voice, the last thing you want is an editor (human or AI) to ruffle your voice. My book editor, Stephanie Shepperd, and I came up with a hard set of editing rules so that she had a clear direction of how to review and what to flag in editing the 125 page manuscript.
I want to throw in my five page editing checklist, so you get:
How to define an editing process with your editor.
What goes into your own editing checklist.
What the the top seven aspects of a good editing process look like.
