Recommendation: Read "LAUNCH Your Book!" BEFORE meeting

with Robbie and download the Launch Toolkit Bonus Content.

Bring your questions to a complimentary 30-minute brainstorming session.

When launched strategically, a book becomes more than a business card.

Listen to my conversation on this episode of the Write Publish Market podcast to learn:


• Why your publish date is NOT your launch date
• How a soft launch window builds momentum and drives reviews
• The importance of Amazon reviews vs. chasing bestseller status
• How to identify and invite the right people to your launch team
• Ways to nurture engagement so your book generates conversations and revenue long after launch day

The Real Value of a Launch Team - the goal: 50+ written Amazon reviews - the purpose: a reason to reach out to likely prospects and referral partners - Generate new revenue through the launch process. Reviews build credibility. Outreach leads to revenue.

A small sample of authors who trusted me to be their book launch strategist...

Kimberly Jentzen's Acting With Impact has 93 reviews
Sophie Lechner's Unlock Your Impact has 90 reviews
Stacey Larsen's Reframing the Leadership Dance has 87 reviews
Gideon Drucker's HENRY Strategies Unlocked has 64 reviews
Susan Fitzell's Neurodiversity in the Workplace has 59 reviews
Deborah Reuben's Enter The Tomorrow Zone has 57 reviews

Their books continue to receive reviews long after launch day.

What are book launch clients saying?

Listen to these testimonials to find out!

“I spoke to several people who specialize in book launches, and I chose Robbie because I connected with his philosophy and appreciated the process he offers. Robbie’s step-by-step approach was incredibly valuable. Most of all, it gave me a clear understanding of the big picture—what we wanted to accomplish—and then broke everything down into manageable details.” -Lois Creamer, author of "Book More Business: Make MORE Money Speaking"

Lois hired me and my VA to manage her book launch. By her launch date, her book had received 131 written Amazon reviews. A month later, it had 139 reviews, and new reviews continued to be submitted. She used the book launch party to add new members to her community and spread the word to the National Speakers Association and Canadian Association of Professional Speakers chapters, many of whom purchased bulk orders of her new book for their Speaker Academy.

Stacey's book received 63 reviews by launch day!

Stacey Larsen is a white woman with shoulder length curly brown hair. She's looking right at the camera with a wide smile.

"Robbie is amazing—not only as a host of anything on Zoom but also as someone who knows books inside and out when it comes to launching and preparing for a launch. Robbie had everything under control and brought me along in the process step by step, holding my hand the entire way." - Stacey Larsen, author of "Reframing The Leadership Dance: The Secret to FindingYour Rhythm as a People Leader"

Prina Shah is a brown woman with long black hair looking confidently into the camera. Her background is hot pink and she's wearing a tailored suit.

“I could not believe how many Amazon reviews I’ve received! Self-publishing is incredibly challenging, as you know. The process of self-publishing is one thing, but launching my book? I had no idea how I was going to do it.

Working with you, Robbie, has been an incredible experience. You’ve helped me become strategic about every stage—my pre-launch, my launch, and now my post-launch." - Prina Shah, author of "Make Work Meaningful: How to Create a Culture That Leaves a Legacy"

Your Launch Is Supported by a Larger Author Ecosystem

Book Launch Concierge clients benefit from more than my launch strategy. Through Biz Book Pub Hub, the author resource ecosystem I founded, I stay connected to entrepreneurial authors, publishing professionals, and book marketing opportunities.

The Hub includes a podcast, expert directory, networking events, and Kindle Flash Sale campaigns that authors can join after their launch to maintain momentum and broaden their reach.

That ecosystem gives clients access to a broader network of resources, examples, experts, and opportunities as they turn their books into business development tools.

Book Launch Concierge + Virtual Launch Party

The complete relationship-based launch experience.

This is the best fit if you want the review strategy, launch operations, and live visibility moment handled in one coordinated process.

For Speakers, coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurial authors with a book tied to a business offer
Not for Memoirs, fiction, or books written for a market you cannot reach through your network
Timeline Approximately 8 weeks of hands-on launch strategy and implementation
Investment $10,000
You do Build your invite list, approve final messaging, show up for the strategy session, and personally respond only when a relationship needs your direct attention
My team and I do Manage the launch system, email sequences, dedicated inbox, forms, spreadsheets, review tracking, reminders, dashboard, launch party design, emceeing, and follow-up priorities

Most authors do not need more launch advice. They need a clear strategy, a working system, and someone experienced enough to keep the launch moving.

Book Launch Concierge + Virtual Launch Party is for authors who want a relationship-based launch without personally managing every email, spreadsheet, reminder, review, reply, and event detail. You bring the network. My team and I bring the strategy, structure, launch systems, hands-on management, and live event design to help your book generate reviews, credibility, visibility, and business conversations.

What 40-50+ Hours Off Your Plate Looks Like

A strategic book launch creates a lot of moving parts. Over the course of the engagement, my team and I typically spend 5-7 hours per week managing each client's launch sequence.

That means 40-50+ hours of launch management you do not have to carry yourself, including inbox triage, personalized email outreach, spreadsheet tracking, form management, review monitoring, reminder sequences, launch team communication, Amazon review troubleshooting, and knowing what needs your attention versus what can be handled for you.

When you hire me for a launch, you are not hiring a solo consultant who gives advice and leaves you to implement. I lead the strategy, messaging, timeline, and launch decisions, while my team supports the behind-the-scenes systems that keep the campaign organized and moving. That combination gives you the benefit of high-touch strategic guidance and reliable launch operations without having to manage the details yourself.

The 5-Phase Launch Concierge Process

A 5-phase launch strategy: build your launch team, activate your launch team, publish and track Amazon reviews, launch day and virtual book launch party, and keep up momentum post-launch

What's Included

Strategy & Positioning

  • A 60-minute strategy session to map your timeline and clarify your next offer
  • Full list-building guidance for 300-3,000 likely prospects, referral partners, clients, community members, and warm connections
  • Segmented launch team outreach so each group receives a more relevant invitation
  • Reviewed and finalized email templates in your voice

Launch Operations

  • Done-for-you Advance Reader Copy (ARC) distribution through BookFunnel, including setup, delivery, access management, reader support, and disabling access when the book is published
  • Yet Another Mail Merge (YAMM) setup and management for personalized launch emails
  • A dedicated launch inbox tied to your name and managed on your behalf
  • Complete Google Forms and Google Sheets management
  • Behind-the-scenes launch operations support from my team so the campaign stays organized and on schedule
  • A shared dashboard so you always know what is happening and what is needed from you

Review Tracking & Troubleshooting

  • Tracking for launch team sign-ups, advance reviews, published Amazon reviews, and launch team follow-through
  • Amazon review troubleshooting, including rejected reviews, reviewer-name confusion, international Amazon storefronts, and alternate ways to use reviews that do not publish
  • Personalized reminders to help launch team members follow through without making you chase them yourself

Visibility & Follow-Up

  • Launch Day amplification guidance, including launch team swipe copy, social post guidance, and email timing
  • Tracking for people interested in having you speak, guest on their podcast, or explore other media opportunities
  • Launch party planning, run of show, speaker tech check, production, and emceeing
  • A post-event package with registration list, attendance list, prize winner list, group photo, and other key assets
  • A post-launch opportunity map identifying warm leads, media leads, speaking leads, referral partners, launch party CTA responses, and follow-up priorities

Launch Inbox Concierge

A successful book launch creates a lot of communication. That is a good thing, but it can quickly become overwhelming.

As part of the Book Launch Concierge package, you set up a dedicated launch inbox tied to your name so launch messages are received as personal messages from you, while keeping your day-to-day inbox from being overwhelmed.

My team and I use that inbox to send personalized outreach, manage replies, answer launch questions, track responses, and keep the campaign moving. I personally oversee the messaging strategy and step in when a response requires strategic judgment.

When something needs your personal attention, we forward it to your regular inbox with a clear note about whether you need to respond or whether it is simply an FYI.

Why I Limit Launches Each Month

A relationship-based book launch is not something I can simply "fit in." Once your first invite email goes out, the campaign moves in sequence, including personalized outreach, launch inbox management, review tracking, reminders, and follow-up.

To protect the quality of the work, I limit my calendar to two new launch clients per month.

If your timeline requires starting when those two spots are already reserved, a priority launch slot may be available for an additional $2,500. This covers the added team capacity required to support a third high-touch launch without reducing the attention each author receives.

Why Add the Virtual Launch Party?

A virtual launch party gives your network a reason to gather around your message. This is not just a celebration. It is a visibility and business development moment designed to highlight your expertise, thank your launch team, and guide participants toward your next offer.

You get to be the guest of honor. I design, produce, and emcee the experience.

Proof This Works

225 reviews by launch day Revenue from one launch-party call-to-action exceeded the entire launch fee.
-- David Newman, "Market Eminence"
5 new contracts Five new contracts booked during a two-month engagement that began after publication.
-- Patrick Farran, "The Intentional Executive"

For many clients, one new speaking engagement, consulting project, or client conversation can cover the investment.

What This Does Not Include

This engagement covers your launch specifically. Ongoing marketing or business development support after the 8-week launch engagement is available separately through the Post-Launch Revenue Accelerator or my longer coaching packages.

Book Launch Concierge

A relationship-based launch that builds Amazon reviews, activates your network, and creates a pipeline to your next offer.

Investment $7,500
Best for Authors who want the full launch strategy and hands-on implementation, but do not need a virtual launch party
Includes Everything in the core Book Launch Concierge process, without the launch party design, production, emceeing, and post-event package
Timeline Approximately 8 weeks of hands-on launch strategy and implementation

Book Launch Concierge includes the strategy, systems, launch inbox management, ARC distribution, mail merges, forms, spreadsheets, review tracking, Amazon review troubleshooting, dashboard, and post-launch opportunity map.

You still receive the same hands-on launch management designed to remove 40-50 hours from your plate and help your book generate reviews, credibility, and business development conversations.

What's Different From the Full Package?

This package does not include:

  • Launch party planning and run of show
  • Guest speaker guidance
  • Speaker tech check
  • 90-minute produced and emceed virtual launch party
  • Post-event package with registration list, attendance list, group photo, prize winner list, and launch party follow-up assets

Want the Live Visibility Moment?

Most clients choose Book Launch Concierge + Virtual Launch Party because the event turns the review campaign into a live authority-building and business development moment.

Participants shared their experience of my launch party for "LAUNCH Your Book!"

Post-Launch Revenue Accelerator

Turn launch momentum into a pilot offer, speaking engagements, media opportunities, or all three.

Length 3 months
Structure 1 coaching call per month plus email and video coaching as needed
Investment $3,500 - available only for launch clients
Best for Authors who want to turn launch attention into revenue opportunities

A strong launch creates attention. The next step is turning that attention into conversations, offers, speaking opportunities, or media visibility.

Most clients come into this package wanting one of two things: to pilot a new offer connected to their book, or to pursue speaking and media opportunities the book opens the door to.

Month 1: Clarify the Path Identify which launch team members, media leads, referral partners, and conversations are worth pursuing now. Decide whether your next step is a pilot offer, speaking outreach, media visibility, or a combination.
Month 2: Build the Assets Create what the path requires, such as a pilot offer structure, outreach plan, podcast one-pager, speaking one-sheet, or capability statement.
Month 3: Take the First Steps Put the plan into motion with first conversations, first pitches, first outreach, and real-time troubleshooting around what is working and what needs to shift.

This is a lighter-touch companion to my longer coaching packages. If you want more intensive support, ask about my 3- and 6-month business development coaching options.
