I’ve been looking for this timeline walkthrough for so long. Thank you!

[ericarowanarts]

It was so helpful seeing this all broken down. The template is literally my saving grace! I tend to get overwhelmed when I start dealing with practical or concrete matters so this will be invaluable as I plan my book launch <3 Thank you so much for your guidance!!

[AdiKanda]

I was both so interested and overwhelmed by this. I found it helpful to pay the most attention to your time estimates for each element, to note those (rather than your detailed calendar dates) and then look at my calendar on my own. I appreciate your experience and orderly nature, very different to my own. ;)

[elizabethcomfort]

Oh my goodness! I already wanted the whole series! I'm so glad the last book came out! Thank you so much!!!

[elizabethruth]

Ah Bethany thank you! This is exactly what I needed right now. I have not set dead lines so everything is seeming to take a LONG time to finish. This will help me have an actual date in mind for my release which will hopefully help motivate me!

[MandiLynnWrites]

Love how you walked through your publishing timeline in this video!

[McScraps]

Great info! It really helps set realistic goals and tackle it in a reasonable manner instead of letting all the things overwhelm you.

I love everything about this. I have a release date set for Dec 2022, but was struggling to make a timeline leading up to it. This was very helpful

[katiemarie]

Thank you so much for this video!! It was super informative and I'm definitely going to fill out that template! Even if I'm unable to stick to the dates I put down (because I'm a slow writer and procrastinate a lot LOL), it'd still be really nice to see the hoped for dates laid out like that and keep those deadlines in the back of my mind.

[rachelrobertson]

This template is awesome!! Thank you so much for showing us this.

I know that we’re still getting to know each other, but if you ever need a “Plan B” editor (since I know you already have an established relationship with your chosen editor), please don’t hesitate to reach out. Ive been a book editor for about ten years and would be honored to help polish and prep your book(s) with you.

[ashleydannielle]

Thank you so, so much for sharing this!!! It’s going to be so valuable to me! ❤️

I love being one of the first viewers! I see my YouTube mentor and am so happy to watch. 😀 Thanks for the info! I’m so curious how my second book will go from start to finish since I swear I hit every hurdle with the first one. 😆😆

[WanjiruWaithaka]

This was so helpful thank you! I love your videos.

How do you order a proof copy without a final cover? Do you just use a temporary image in order to sit get the copy made?

[soccertommulroy]

Hello, V
Very interesting thanks for going through your self-publishing timeline and deadlines, including your RELEASE DATE. I sign up for your author newsletter. When will i receive the FREE template ? Thanks for your help.

[garydaly]

Hi Bethany, I tried to buy the five Marketing for Authors the kindle editions. However, I live in Australia and it appears that the kindle edition of your books are not available for sale in Australia. Is this true? Thank you. Love your work.

[AttnBusyMoms]

Did you double the time frames after you had your baby? 😃💕

[roserose]

my first draft took 3 years. not two months!! very different kind of book I suppose.

[whimsicalsky]

When you do your read throughs do you edit along the way or afterward once you're done? And I didn't realize you could hire an editor or cover designer so soon in the writing process! Do you only use a proofreader and/or line editor, or also a developmental one? I'm noy sure if you need all three or not, or if beta readers and critique partners would be good enough for developmental edits

[gamexpress]

Would Mondays work as well for book release?
