Most authors get royalties after their book is published. Savvy authors use preorders to cover their publishing costs...before their book is out. Let’s get these presales poppin’!

to attend:
Designed specifically for self-published authors to grow from self publishing side hustle to successful preseller, this challenge will focus on helping you reach more readers with your first or next book preorder!
This challenge is all about turning a profit from your book during PREORDERS...instead of waiting until you have a series. We understand the unique challenges you face in preselling your book while balancing a 9-5 and/or small business. Either way, we're here to help you overcome them.
Hosted by Ashley Shepard, a book marketing strategist, self publishing consultant, best selling author, and owner of Shep Publishing House.

FAQs About the CHALLENGE
How is this set up?
Each day at 7:30 PM EST Ashley will go live. VIP attendees get access to unlimited replays. Sign up to get reminders and updates of surprises during the process.
Will this challenge work for my book?
Preorders can for all books, HOWEVER but the best fit for this experience are:
- Nonfiction Books such as: cookbooks, self help, business books, authority books, and general adult nonfiction.
- Children's Books with professionally drawn illustrations and potential for a series
- Children and Adult Fiction Books with strong plot lines
- NOTE: Blank journals and biographies are not a good fit for this challenge.
Is this full of fluff?
The strategies shared include actionable steps to help you transform your book business and prepare for presales. This is not just fluff but action oriented mindset shifts needed and implementation to help you succeed from an author who was just where you are now just 5 years ago. I've tweaked them while working with clients and also with a presale this year as well.
Does my book need to be finished to join the challenge?
No, your book does not need to be complete to join the challenge. Presales are a skill you can learn to use for your first or next book. BUT you do need to be committed to the process to see results.
