Our MarketLikeAQueen Team is so grateful to be able to help authors self-publish. Read on to learn how we helped a client get book into stores.
Life Coach and Author Dee Salley (over at DeeAbundantLifeCoach.com) has been celebrating all summer because she has successfully self-published! Now her paperback book can be found in major book retail stores. That is totally awesome and amazing to see all of her hard work (and our team's, too) manifested in physical form after over 2 years of partnering with her as her book marketing team.
We are excited because we put the book that she wrote together for her to self-publish. We provided services including:
INSPIRATION AND EMPOWERMENT: Support, Encouragement and Book Marketing Coaching To Prepare In Advance (and to not give up during this long process)
PLANNING: Written Book Marketing Strategic Plan
TRAINING: Self-Publishing Platform Support (i.e., learning to use publishing sites)
BOOK COMPILATION: Line Editing + Format Editing (interior and exterior)
BOOK COVER: Book Cover Graphic Art Design
WEB MARKETING: Website and Social Media Support

SIGNED COPY OF OUR CLIENT DEE'S BOOK
When Dee generously sent our signed copy as a thank you gift, it felt so good to hold it in our hands for the first time. It probably almost felt as good for us as it did for her! We helped her birth it into the world, kind of like an author's "doula". Here is super cool video of me, the Market Like A Queen Team Lead, Donna Marie, holding the signed copy:
