Send us Fan MailBTS with an Indie Author - Part 5, Launch Week RecapWelcome to this special summer series where I invite guest hosts who were pivotal to the writing or publishing of my upcoming memoir to come on the podcast and interview me about the behind the scenes of an indie author leading up to my debut launch.This week is hosted by Laura Thomas, my developmental editor for Lonely Girl who has been a guest on the podcast before as well as a speaker at our Memoir Summit back in March. In this episode, we reflect on the impact of Launch Week! I share about the largely positive feedback I’ve received from readers and also some cautionary advice and lessons I’ve learned through the process regarding how others appear in your story. Laura and I talk about the importance of the people you know in the early phase of marketing a new release and plans for the book long term. It’s not too late to snag an author signed copy on my website! You can also order paperback and ebook formats through Amazon.This will be the last podcast episode for the summer as I take some time to reflect on how this podcast will look moving forward!
