Can your book start making money before it's even finished?
Today’s guest says yes — and she’s got the results to prove it.
In this episode of Read Magnet, Cate is joined by Ashley Shepard, a publishing strategist, indie author, and founder of Shep Publishing House who shares how smart pre-order campaigns can turn your book into a profitable asset before it even launches.
Ashley shares how she’s helped authors run 4- and 5-figure pre-order campaigns and why you don't need a massive audience in order to have a successful book.
If you’re writing a book to grow your business, build your platform, or serve your people more deeply, this episode is packed with real talk and practical tips.
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why your book should start working for you before it's done
How to structure a pre-order campaign that builds momentum and trust
What makes a great pre-order bonus (and what to avoid)
