The 20-minute discovery job most indie authors put off

Illustration contrasting good and bad reviews: on one side, “Brilliant!” with a thumbs-up and five stars; on the other, “AWFUL” with a thumbs-down and “avoid this.”

There’s a particular panic that hits when a book is nearly out. In the days leading up to its unleashing.

You’ve checked the cover and fixed the word-blind typo. You’ve checked the files across three different distribution sites. You’ve checked ‘buy now’ links.
