Julie Broad says authors should know what they want before paying a publishing company. Writing ebooks, building a speaking career, and launching a children's book business need different approaches. Book Launcher works for some authors but not for hands-on, low-margin career writers.

Question 1 what are your goals and your needs when publishing your book? This question is for you to answer yourself. Because if you're focused on writing a bunch of little ebooks versus you want to write a book that will catapult your speaking career, or you're creating a business around a children's book with figures and games and toys, those are all very different needs. Now, even when you get into the nonfiction book publishing world, which is where Book Launcher sits, we aren't the right fit for every author. Some authors are looking to be career authors, like all they do is write books and make money from the books. Those folks often want to get their hands dirty in the book business and make as much margin as they can. That author is probably not going to be as happy with a full service program like ours where we charge for the massive value that we provide.
