Roberts explains the book grew from his graduate thesis, took about four and a half years to complete, and that Book Launchers provided a writing coach, detailed editing (emphasizing consistency across chapters), design and backend/publishing support, and launch strategy. He reports increased credibility in the music industry, more speaking and podcast opportunities, and that the book was three to four months post-launch at the time of the recording.

When people see the book, like, ooh, that's a really good cover. And I really have Book launchers that thank because their design team helped me with planning the different drafts. It really came out a great, great cover on the outside and a great book on the inside. My name is Amani Roberts, and the name of my book is the Quiet A Historical and Cultural Analysis of the Power, Passion and Pain of R and B Groups. My life was a little calmer before I wrote the book. And what inspired me to write it is that it was my thesis in grad school. So I looked at the thesis and said, this could be a really, really good book. And it was my second book. And four and a half years later, here we are. Book Launchers helped me from beginning to end, just with, like, the writing coach getting the book idea down as an outline, then when I wrote the book, helped me with the edits both before the manuscript was done and then after, then strategy. All the things from start to finish, they were very beneficial. One of my favorite things was with the editing. A lot of times we can take the edits personal. They really helped me kind of go through that process and just explain how I needed to be more consistent through each of the chapters, make sure that the reader was getting the same experience from every chapter they were reading. It was a really challenging project, but they guided me along the whole way, just with a great effort. I knew Book Launchers was right for me when I understood the entire process to writing a book and how you can't take any shortcuts, and they wouldn't allow me to take any shortcuts. Speaking on more stages, more podcasts, I'm starting to get more customers. It's really given me just a really increased amount of credibility in the, like, the music industry space because I wrote a book about the music industry, about a topic that wasn't really covered. I'm about three or four months past launch date now, and so it's continuing to pick up momentum. I recommend Book Launchers because from A to Z, they will get your book released. They'll have you write a good book and they do it the right way, give you plenty of resources, give you a great editing team, design team. They'll help you get your book up on the back end, which is incredibly complex, and, and make sure it's launched in the right time. They get everything done and they're very collaborative and easy to work with.
