Section 1

About You

What name should I use for you?*

What email should I use to reach you?*

What is the name of your business?*

What is your primary website?

Section 2

Your Book

What is the title and subtitle of your book?*

Where is the book right now?*

If the book isn't published yet, when do you expect it to be published?

Are meaningful changes to the book still possible?*

How would you describe your book's primary subject, category, or genre?

If you're unsure, a simple description is fine. You do not need to know the formal publishing category.

Give me the short, human version: what is this book about?*

What do you hope the reader understands, feels, experiences, or does differently after reading it?*

Who do you believe is most likely to benefit from this book?*

Is there anything about the book or publishing process I should know that could affect this strategy?

For example, an upcoming publication deadline, restrictions on changing the manuscript, publisher requirements, unfinished production work, or another circumstance that may affect what is realistic.

Section 6

What We're Trying to Learn

What are you most unsure about right now?*

What questions keep coming up when you think about connecting this book to your larger business?

Are there particular questions, problems, or conversations you keep hearing from readers, clients, audiences, or people in your field?

Don't worry about proving anything. I'm interested in what you've been noticing.

Are there people, businesses, resources, communities, newsletters, podcasts, websites, or other places you think are relevant to this audience?

You do not need to research these for me. Just share anything that immediately comes to mind.

At the end of this strategy, what decision would you most like to feel clearer about?*

For example: what readers should do next, what resource might be useful, how the book should connect to an offer, what deserves attention first, or something else entirely.

Section 7

Real-World Constraints

As we consider possible next steps, what should I know about your available time, budget, team or support, comfort with technology, and how much ongoing marketing or maintenance you realistically want to take on?*

You do not need to have exact answers. I want the recommendations we develop to fit the way you actually want to work — not create another list of things you're "supposed to" be doing.

Six months from now, what would make you feel that your book is doing a better job of supporting your larger work?*
