A planning guide for mapping the path from draft to book promotion

Connie Dunn organizes a book project into five major sections, helping authors estimate the time involved from the earliest concept through marketing. The guide identifies the stages that can shape a publishing schedule, including writing, editing, formatting, publishing, and promotion. Its practical emphasis is on turning a large, multi-step project into a usable timeline with milestones and goals. It also addresses two publishing contexts: authors working to traditional deadlines and independent authors coordinating their own production and marketing tasks.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Authors building a first project timeline
  • Independently published authors coordinating production and marketing
  • Traditionally published authors managing manuscript and publication deadlines
