Launch Checklist for Your First AI-Assisted Book

Pre-Launch Preparation

Set a launch date and work backward. Give yourself two weeks for final formatting, proofing, and audience activation.

Production Tasks

• Run the final "Polish" workflow in Teneo and export the KDP-ready manuscript.
• Generate your cover variants and test thumbnails on mobile screens.
• Upload files to KDP or IngramSpark and verify metadata.

Audience Activation

• Schedule three teaser emails highlighting the book promise, table of contents, and launch bonus.
• Record a short author video to pin on social platforms.
• Open pre-orders and capture testimonials from beta readers.

Launch Week Execution

Day-by-day checklists prevent panic. Allocate daily focus blocks: reviews, media outreach, community engagement, and paid ads.

Retention Flywheel

After launch, route readers into a nurture automation featuring bonus chapters and worksheets. Keep the conversation alive for the long tail.
