SOAR TO SUCCESS / Feature Article Do you feel you have a great idea for a book, but every publisher you have reached out to has given you a resounding, “We’re Not Interested”? Julie Broad has been there. Eventually, she proved the publishers wrong and today her team at BookLaunchers.com can help you get your big idea on paper and ready to sell. Years ago, Julie had a real estate training and education company in Canada and as her platform of speaking and YouTube content grew, she was contacted by an editor for a major publisher.

Book Launchers staff includes editors and writing coaches that work on the content and marketers that will pitch you to media and guide the author through the challenging waters of promotion and marketing. “One of the cool things about our process is that the author owns 100% of the content and has total creative control, plus they keep all the royalties. They are surrounded by professionals the entire time – doing work with them and cheering them on.” A past client, Kelly Lewis gave a very strong vote of thanks to Julie and Book Launchers, “Working with Book Launchers was wonderful! Their team helped me feel confident about my content and message, the book, “Tell Her She Can’t,” was a #1 Amazon Bestseller in four categories.
