Book Marketing Spreadsheet

Intimidated by the book promotion process? I’m here to help you get organized.

Publishing a book can be an incredibly overwhelming process, and there are countless professionals you can work with — if only you had endless time and resources. I’m here to help you get organized around book promotion so that you are clear on what needs to happen, by when, and whom you need to hire (versus where you can find support for free).

When I was getting ready to launch my own book, Life After College, I knew I needed a way to track the hundreds of book promotion action items and ideas floating around in my head — everything from website development to book tour planning to advance copy recipient lists, so I created a 15-tab master spreadsheet as a way of organizing the hundreds of things an author thinks about on the road to book launch.

Click on the image below to preview the template, then select the “Use this template” button at the top to get started. If you prefer to use the template in Excel instead of Google Spreadsheets, please download it here.

    Hi Jenny! Elisa Doucette was kind enough to share your 15-tab spreadsheet with me. The only problem is that I’m unable to click on the tabs. Am I missing something?

    Hi Elisa — have you already clicked “use this template”? If not, that will save a copy in your Google Docs that you can flip through an edit. Thanks for checking it out!
