What to do and when.
Regular masterclasses run by guest experts, covering concepts including: applying to podcasts, direct sales, crowdfunding, and many other ways to promote your book - and when to do them.

It's essential to build a buzz around your book way before its release date - and, once that rush of excitement of the Big Day subsides, you want to ensure your book is building on that momentum and making waves.
Let's go beyond the birth of the book
A sustained approach, giving your book staying power.
Far too many books are launched and then disappear without trace - don't let that happen to yours!
Because this nine-month launch plan is video-based, you don't need to time your book's release with our next cohort. You can begin at any time. Just make sure you're prepared to do the work, though, as the more you put into it the more you will reap the rewards.
Published your book without the help of Jo Wildsmith Publishing? Don't worry, you will still benefit fully from this Nine-Month Launch Plan!
Your book, in as many hands as possible. Changing as many lives as possible.
"If you would like more details before you go ahead with Chapter 9, here I answer the questions most people ask..."
The first video of the series will be available to you as soon as you purchase Chapter 9: Nine-Month Launch Plan. A new video will open up to you every week thereafter. There are 40 videos in total - one a week for the full nine months. You'll find all your videos and bonus masterclasses in your Chapter 9 Member Portal, delivered week by week. You will receive login details by email following your purchase.
During your first week, you will also be notified of, and invited into, Weekly WhatsApp Support and Monthly Accountability Sessions.
Expert Masterclasses are delivered by video at appropriate points throughout the Nine-Month Launch Plan.
There are a number of reasons, including more sales, far wider reach, stability, ever-increasing visibility, building your fan base, becoming known… but also times are changing. No longer is it viable to orchestrate a glut of sales on a given day to guarantee and Amazon Best Seller. Marketplaces such as Amazon are now favouring books that show a sustained sales pattern.
And we really don't want Amazon to be the be-all-and-end-all for your book. Your book can go so much further!
Chapter 9: Nine-Month Launch Plan usually sells for £149 per month for 9 months. Authors who have published their book or audiobook with us receive an honorary discount, reducing the fee to £99 per month. The Launch Offers of £29 or £49 per month will therefore save a massive £1080 (£630 if you are an existing JWP author client) or £900 (£450), respectively.
We fully appreciate and understand that writing a book is an involved process, and that every author is finishing their masterpiece based on their own timelines, so it’s simply not practical to run live sessions on dates that work for everyone.
Instead, you will be sent the videos weekly, every week for the full nine months. Forty weekly videos, plus extra masterclasses.
No, I’m afraid not. Imagine the logistics! However, there will be a weekly opportunity to ask me for help in our dedicated WhatsApp group for the duration of your plan, and I will be hosting monthly live Check-In sessions.
While Chapter 9 is based on the ‘3 months before and 6 months after’ concept, the fact is that doing this Nine-Month Launch Plan will help you even if your book has been on sale a while.
It’s for all of them. Yes, audiobooks too! Also fiction, non-fiction, children’s books…
While yes, technically you can, I'd say to get the best out of it you need to follow it week-by-week, as often one week will lead to the next.
I recommend you follow the whole plan in order, and if you do have to pause, you will probably need to go back to the beginning again to get the most out of it.
There is no penalty for only doing the work that particularly suits you and your book, but the more you make the effort and follow the plan, the more opportunities for success will open up.
It is my intention that there will be, though it will not be until 2027. It will also be at a much higher price point, as I’m sure you can imagine.
Generally, much of the content of Chapter 9 benefits from you taking the action yourself, but yes, one day there will be a ‘Chapter 10.’
