—IMAGINE—

The book you've worked on for years is finally ready for the world to ReAd.

Your book flies off the shelves, and then lands on must-read and bestseller lists in your industry.
Your story and advice are featured on your favorite websites and publications.
You join countless podcast and radio interviews, even several in the same day.
You open up Facebook and Twitter to see dozens of new tags, mentions, and (real!) followers.
You get an offer from a well-known company to speak to their employees (and they’ll pay you more than you made last month).
You’re invited to present about your book at a conference in Cabo San Lucas, all-expenses paid.
A brand you admire reaches out to ask if you’re interested in consulting on their newest product launch.
Your inbox is full of people praising your book and reaching out to ask if you are available to hire.

Within a few weeks, you’ve been featured in dozens of press pieces, been sought out for high-profile speaking engagements, and been congratulated by people you haven't spoken to since middle school. You're solidly on the path towards being a nationally-recognized brand in your industry.

This is not a far-off dream. Your book launch can be the defining pivot point in your career.

But, ask any bestselling author: the way to make it happen is not to sit and wait for it, relying on your (overwhelmed) publisher-assigned support team and a barrel of luck. The pros know how to roll up their sleeves, get the right pieces in place, and guarantee that their book will make a splash when it launches. Why leave it to chance? Book Famous outlines a proven plan that puts you in the driver's seat of your own success.

IS BOOK FAMOUS FOR ME?

This workshop is for you if:

You have written a book that will be published in the next 12 months, or was recently published.
You want to build your brand as an expert in your industry, and know that your book is the perfect jumping point to earn you the exposure you deserve.
You don’t have tens of thousands of dollars to spend (or you don’t think it’s a good use of money) to hire a full-time team of people to do the work for you.
Your publisher, if you have one, hasn't given you a dedicated publicist (only Oprah or Obama get that!).
You have a message that the world needs to hear, and you need a little extra boost to help get your name and ideas in the right forums!

This workshop is not for you if:

You are a New York Times Bestselling Author. You probably have this figured out already.
You employ a full-time publicist, or a publicity team, to get your name in the press regularly.
You think your book will sell thousands of copies all by itself, without you rolling up your sleeves.
Your book is only a passion project, and media exposure isn’t a priority for you.
