Episode 280: Book Launching Fun with Jess

By popular request, it&#8217;s the 2021 The Addiction Inoculation Launch Story! Jess fills us in on the weirdness and craziness that was a mid-pandemic non-fiction book release. Her advice includes: don&#8217;t try to do too much, target your energy&#8212;and ask for help making choices when you don&#8217;t know what to do when. We talk balancing an outside and an inside publicist, working with local booksellers for signed copies and larger orders, the challenges of a world with far fewer speaking opportunities and just generally what went right and what could go better next time.<br/><br/>Links from the pod<br/><br/><a href="https://deweymediagroup.com/">Nicole Dewey</a><br/><br/><a href="https://www.paypal.com/shiplabel/create/">Media Mail via Paypal</a><br/><br/>#AmReading<br/><br/>Jess:<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780525542285">The Guncle</a> by Steven Rowley<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781982159375">On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft</a> by Stephen King<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780061147968">Horns</a> by Joe Hill<br/><br/>Sarina:<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781538703328">Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake</a> by Alexis Hall<br/><br/>KJ Recommends:<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780063040069">Battle Royal</a> by Lucy Parker<br/><br/>We are so grateful to our sponsor, Author Accelerator, and the writing community they&#8217;ve built!
