“Every successful piece of nonfiction should leave the reader with one provocative thought that he or she didn’t have before. Not two thoughts, or five – just one. So decide what single point you want to leave in the reader’s mind.” - William Zinsser

Has it gone quiet on the book front? You don’t talk about it and feel like it’s time has passed.

Well, let me tell you…

Relaunching your book is absolutely a great thing to do for the right reasons.

One of my author clients hosted a hugely successful launch for her incredible book, when it was originally released, and hit bestseller. Then decided to niche her audience even more.

A year later, the book had been rewritten specifically for the new niche, and BAM! Another successful launch and bestseller once again.

Since then she has been unstoppable!
