The Difference Between a Book Reviewer and an Influencer

November 20, 2015 By Jody Hedlund

One of the major ways I prepare for every book's release is by forming a Launch Team made up of Influencers.

When I’d take them out in the double stroller, people would always stop to admire them.

A Trio of Cover Reveals

November 5, 2015 By Karen Witemeyer

For me, one of the most exciting (and nerve-wracking!) parts of the publication process is seeing a new cover for the first time.
