You’ve probably seen the highlight reels — bestsellers, #1 rankings, raving readers. But what about everything that went wrong before it went right? In this candid, behind-the-scenes fireside chat, we’re pulling back the curtain on the real journey of writing, publishing, and launching a book — complete with unexpected plot twists, formatting fails, deadline panic, and what it actually takes to hit those Amazon bestseller goals.

Join us for an honest conversation between a first-time (now triumphant) author and the book strategist who helped pull the launch back from the brink.

No slides. (Okay, a couple). No scripts. Just a real talk about the messy middle that no one else tells you.- Register now. Space is limited.

And yes, there will be laughs.

PS – We’ll also introduce you to Book Launch in a Box — the program that could have saved months of struggle (and thousands of dollars).
