A step by step

The Book Launch Package

If you're a writer new to the world of self-publishing and don't know where to start with getting your book ready for market, or simply don't have the time, then my launch package is for you.

Why Due North

I've managed the launch of more than 20 books on Amazon, working with bestselling thriller author Jack Slater for over four years. I know how much admin goes into getting a book launch-ready, and how much it matters to get every detail right, and I know you'd rather be getting on with the next book!

The Book Launch Package

What's included

01

KDP account, listing & pre-order setup

I set up your KDP account and book listing properly from the start. Adding appropriate metadata, categories, and keywords is essential if your book is going to be found by your target readers. We'll get your pre-order live as soon as possible to maximise early sales.

02

Cover, blurb & Amazon product page review

A straight, genre-aware assessment of whether your packaging will actually convert browsers into readers. If something's holding it back, we'll discuss how it can be fixed.

03

A marketing plan tailored to your genre

A written plan built around your specific genre, readership and budget.

04

Mailing list setup & launch newsletter

Your reader mailing list set up and ready to grow, and we'll get your launch announcement written and ready to send. Building a quality mailing list is the cheapest and easiest way to generate ongoing sales.

05

Ad campaigns set up & handed over

I'll show you how to set up an Amazon advertising account and set up core ads to get your book off to the best possible start. I'll share my tips on analysis and growing your ads in line with your series.

06

Guidance on building an ARC group

How to build and run an advance reader group, so you launch with honest reviews already in place.

07

A two-week launch plan

A clear plan for your launch fortnight, what to do, when, and in what order.

Audiobook production management

Once your book is launched, I can manage the entire audiobook production for you: auditioning and casting narrators, coordinating the recording, quality control, and getting it live on Audible.

Charged at $0.0075 per word (around $600 for an 80,000-word book). Your narrator is paid separately and directly by you.
