Launch is where the book starts working for you.

To have us put the book in front of the people who can hire you, add the Book-to-client campaign.
Start with the Book Blueprint, a $3,500 engagement that finds the strongest version of your book. The full fee is credited toward Publish if you move forward within six months.
