Hi, I would announce your book launch club to your followers... especially the ones here on Substack. If they've been following your journey, they're probably likely candidates for joining your club. Keep track of everyone who asks to join because it's easy to lose track of them. Send them a pdf or link to where they can download your book, and ask if they can read it and be ready to write a review when it comes out. I find a big part of the author's job is to follow up with club members, check in and ask how it is going, and then remind them to write the review once your book is live.
Hi Tad, oh I like the title of your book!
I think Matt showed the steps you can take.
My idea would be to write a post where you announce to start the club and then see where this goes.
You can also join our community and we'll help you set everything up for success.
Send me a DM or email if you need more support.
I bet Matt will check the comments again soon and reply too
