THE LAUNCH
How Does a Book Launch Work?
A book launch has windows: 1) the first 7 days, and 2) the first 30 days.
Think of it like two booster rockets that get the book launched into orbit. Without the launch, many books just get lost in the sea of the 36 million titles on Amazon.
Reviews and purchases build a cycle of momentum that creates visibility for the book.
To use another analogy, you all are helping us do the hard work of pushing the boulder up the hill so that we can roll it down the other side. We couldn’t do this without you.
Our 30-Day Launch Window for Book 6 will be announced in our newsletter.

BOOK REVIEWS
Posting Book Reviews
Tips for Writing Reviews:
- Write about your experience. How did the story affect you?
- Avoid spoilers (since it’s a mystery :).
- If you read the book with a young person, describe what they most enjoyed about the story or quote them in your review.
- To whom would you recommend the book? Who would most enjoy it?
- If you’re short on time, writing a brief review is just fine.
TESTIMONIALS
Testimonials
A short account of your or your kid’s experience of reading the book speaks volumes to potential readers.
- Submit Testimonials by replying to our launch team emails
- Share your experience and what you enjoyed
- The best testimonials are succinct, consisting of 2-3 sentences and focus on your experience.
- These could be used in several places: Amazon page, book website, back cover, ads, and social media posts.
ERROR CORRECTIONS
To Err is Human...
