The step-by-step tool that takes you from finished manuscript to live on Amazon — in 14 days.
Once your manuscript is edited and formatted, most authors complete all 14 steps in 4 to 6 hours of focused work — spread across 14 days or done in a single weekend.
Not a course. Not a coach. A guided publishing tool that walks you through every decision — ISBNs, back cover copy, keywords, KDP setup, cover brief, review strategy — one step at a time, with live market data at every stage. Built by someone who has done this 20 times.

Same manuscript. Different outcome.
Book Launch Ready doesn't teach publishing.
It walks you through it.
What you'll walk away with
Courses teach. This builds.
This isn't a publishing course.
It's a step-by-step system that helps you create everything you need to publish — your cover brief, back cover copy, keywords, categories, KDP setup, and launch plan — built as you work through each step.
Before day one
Book Launch Ready picks up where the writing ends. To move at full speed, bring these three things on day one.
01
A finished manuscript
Self-edited or professionally edited, with all closing pages already written — acknowledgements, about-the-author, references. Save it as a Word document or export from Google Docs. We prepare everything you need to publish it — we don't rewrite it.
Accepted: .docx · Also fine: Google Docs export, Scrivener export
02
A short author bio
Two to four sentences about who you are and why you wrote this book. Third person. A rough draft is fine — the tool uses it to build your back cover and Amazon Author page.
Plain text is fine · Third person · 150–200 words
03
An author photo
A clear headshot at 300dpi or higher. Used for your Amazon Author page and optionally your back cover. A professional photo is ideal — a clean, well-lit portrait works perfectly.
Format: JPG or PNG · Minimum: 300dpi
Book Launch Ready is focused on one thing: getting your finished manuscript published correctly.
What this tool does not do: write or edit your manuscript · design your cover · run your ads · manage your KDP account · replace a copy editor or proofreader.
Book Launch Ready connects to multiple AI tools and live data sources so you don't have to. One payment. No separate subscriptions. No extra accounts to create. No API keys to manage. We handle everything behind the scenes — you focus on getting your book published.
Founding member · 100 spots
Launch price $37 per book — regular $4737 of 100 spots claimed
A publishing consultant charges $500–$2,000 to walk you through what this tool does in 14 days.
$37 today. One payment. Lifetime access.
Price goes up after 100 spots — founding members never pay more.
AI-assisted steps include generous generation credits designed to get your book launch complete. Book Launch Ready is a publishing workflow tool, not an unlimited AI writing platform. Every AI step gives you a strong working draft — and clear guidance on how to take it further in your own preferred AI tool if you want to keep refining.
100 founding spots. When they're gone, the price goes to $47. The founding member price exists because early users help shape the tool.
After 100 spots, that feedback window closes and the price reflects the finished product.
What Book Launch Ready does
Here's exactly what you'll build — in the order you'll build it.
Before you begin: the 12-point readiness check
Before the 14-day clock starts, Book Launch Ready runs a 12-point gate check — copyright page, ISBN decision, barcode plan, back matter, series teaser. You'll know if anything is missing before hitting step 10.
Step 1
Manuscript intake & timeline
Title, word count, format, country, and target publish date. Generates your personalised 14-day countdown with every step mapped to a date.
Step 2
Genre & sub-niche engine new
Not a dropdown. A guided question flow that confirms your exact sub-niche — because "mystery" and "cozy mystery" reach completely different readers, and every step after this depends on getting it right.
Step 3
Book positioning
Four questions about your reader, your promise, and your angle. Generates a positioning statement and subtitle options that feed every step that follows.
Step 4
Back cover copy
Three ready-to-use versions generated from your answers — with optional fields for awards, bilingual editions, SEL designation, series position, and accessibility features.
Step 5
ISBN & barcode setup
Direct links and exact steps for your country — including whether you need an ISBN at all if you're publishing exclusively on Amazon KDP. Everything you need to make the right decision for your book and your distribution goals.
Step 6
Category selection live data
Searches Amazon's current bestseller lists to recommend the 2 categories with the best new-release ranking opportunity for your sub-niche right now — not a static list.
Step 7
Keyword strategy live data
7 keyword phrases ranked by current search opportunity. Timestamped and refreshable. Your strategy reflects what's working today — not when the tool was built.
Step 8
Cover brief
Genre-aware questions about tone, comparable covers, and design direction. Produces a one-page brief a designer, Canva, or AI image tool can execute from — with genre-specific conventions included.
Step 9
Interior formatting
Trim size selector, margin calculator, font recommendations by genre, and a back matter checklist to confirm everything is in place before you export.
Note: this step produces a formatting brief for your formatter or designer. Book Launch Ready does not format your interior file. Need a formatter? We can connect you with experienced professionals.
Step 10
KDP upload walkthrough
Screen-by-screen guide through every KDP field — pre-filled from your earlier steps, copy, paste, done. Royalty calculator included. Common mistakes flagged before you make them.
Step 11
IngramSpark & distribution
Amazon isn't the only place readers buy books. If you want your book in bookstores, libraries, and 40,000+ retailers around the world, this step walks you through the setup.
Step 12
Review placement strategy new
Books with reviews sell more. This step builds your complete review strategy — timed to your launch, mapped to your genre, and designed to get your first reviews before your book goes live.
Step 13
Amazon Author page
Step-by-step setup of your Author Central page — bio, photo, claimed titles, editorial reviews, and the "From the Author" section that personalises your book listing.
Step 14
Launch day kit
15-point launch checklist, announcement email template, social post templates, and a downloadable PDF compiling every output from all 14 steps into your complete launch kit.
Every step in this tool was built from 25 years of doing exactly this.

Book Launch Ready is built on 25 years of doing exactly what it walks you through — not teaching it. Every step in this tool comes from a mistake I watched an author make, or a question I answered so many times I decided to build the answer into a product.
The thing I know about finished manuscripts: they deserve to exist in the world. This tool exists to make sure they do.
Who this is for
"The hardest part of publishing isn't the writing. It's knowing what to do after you type The End."
You're ready to publish. You just need someone to show you the order.
Before you ask
Does this work for fiction and non-fiction?
Yes. Book Launch Ready works for any book going to Amazon KDP or IngramSpark — fiction, non-fiction, children's books, memoirs, business books, and poetry. The genre and sub-niche engine in Step 2 adapts every step that follows to your specific book. If it has a manuscript and needs to be published, this tool walks you through it.
What if I've already started on KDP?
You can start from wherever you are. If you've already uploaded your manuscript and set up some metadata, the tool lets you skip completed steps and focus on what's missing — categories, keywords, your author page, or your review strategy. Many authors use it to fix a book that's already live but not performing.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The tool is built specifically for authors — not developers, not marketers. Every field is explained, every decision is guided, and every technical term is defined the first time it appears. If you can write a book, you can use this tool.
What if I can't finish in 14 days?
14 days is the target, not a deadline. Your progress saves automatically so you can stop and return at any point. Some authors finish in a weekend. Others take six weeks. The tool works at your pace — the 14-day framing is there to show you it's achievable, not to pressure you.
Do I keep 100% of my royalties?
Yes — completely. Book Launch Ready is a publishing tool, not a publisher. You publish directly to KDP and IngramSpark under your own account. Every royalty goes directly to you. We never take a cut of your sales.
What happens when the 100 founding spots are gone?
Once all 100 founding member spots are claimed, the price rises to $47 per book for everyone who joins after. Founding members keep their $37 rate forever — even if we add features or raise prices later. And yes, it's lifetime access: buy today, come back in a year or two when your manuscript is ready. Publishing your next book? Each new title gets its own Book Launch Ready purchase — so every book gets a fresh strategy built on live Amazon data at the time you publish it. As a founding member you always pay $37. Never the new price.
Your manuscript is ready. Book Launch Ready will get it live.
If you work through the tool and don't feel it was worth $37, email hello@booklaunchready.com and I'll refund you. No form, no process — just an email.
