Get Launchpad Now
Most books flop. Yours doesn't have to.
Only
2%
Less than 2% of books ever get reviewed by a publisher — most never make it past the inbox.
Low Odds
Traditional and self-publishing models are stacked against the author.
Launch pad
Validate your idea, secure funding, and build credibility before you publish.
<500 copies
Most books quietly vanish after launch. Fewer than 500 copies ever get sold.
No Stra tegy
Without a clear roadmap, your book’s potential is wasted. Let’s fix that.
Writing is the fun part—but then what?
Most authors spend years writing, only to vanish after launch. Launchpad helps you reverse that script with roadmap, support, and serious momentum.
Not testing the idea before launching
Waiting too long to build an audience
Thinking the book will sell itself
Treating marketing as an afterthought
Launchpad fixes all of this

Authors using Launchpad strategies get results
Dr. Lori Myren-Manbeck
In partnership with:
Lori came to us with a small e-book on sustainable living. We saw the potential for deeper audience engagement — and helped transform her idea into a full-scale ecosystem of products. Together, we developed a strategic foundation, shaped the creative vision, crafted the visual identity, built the website, and produced the first animated teaser for her show Mars Can Wait. Our team also supported her in preparing for fundraising, led negotiations, created pitch materials, and is now actively involved in sponsor outreach. Lori’s project is a great example of how a meaningful idea can grow into a mission-driven initiative with a clear voice and cross-platform presence.
Maiana Rose Book Tour
In partnership with:
We partnered with artist and author Maiana Rose to turn the launch of her second book, Oh, The Dudes That You’ll Date!, into a fully integrated experience: a national book tour, a highly engaging contest, digital campaigns, and custom brand activations. The focus wasn’t on follower counts—it was about emotional engagement. Audiences shared their own stories, voted, commented, and saw themselves reflected in the content. We didn’t just create buzz—we created moments. Sponsors became part of the cultural conversation around modern dating, told with humor, heart, and a bold creative voice.
