| 10/16/26 | The Launch Culture Trap: Sell More Books Without Chasing the Next Release | Publish. Launch. Repeat. Somewhere along the way, authors got the message that the only way to sell more books is to keep writing new ones. But what happens when you’re so busy chasing your next release that the books you’ve already published barely get a chance? In this episode, Penny Sansevieri and Amy Cornell take on the launch culture trap—and the pressure to stay in production mode while perfectly marketable books gather digital dust. Your next sales opportunity could already be sitting ... | 22m 56s | ||||||
| 10/9/26 | Why Influencers Aren’t Responding to Your Book Pitch—and How to Fix It | You found the perfect book influencer. Their audience is exactly right. You sent what you thought was a great pitch…and then? Nothing. Before you assume influencers hate pitches—or that your book just isn’t interesting enough—there’s something you need to know: your pitch probably had about five seconds to make the cut. Influencer inboxes have become absolute war zones, packed with review requests, generic PR emails, mass pitches, and books that have nothing to do with their audience. And aft... | 28m 29s | ||||||
| 10/2/26 | Does Your Author Brand Look AI-Generated? How to Build Reader Trust Now | Readers are becoming more skeptical—and authors are getting caught in the fallout. Even if you’ve never used AI to write a single word, your book marketing can still trigger the same suspicion readers increasingly bring to generic, overly polished, or strangely interchangeable content. Your Amazon description. Your author bio. Your reviews. Your website. Even your author photo. In this episode, we’re digging into a growing challenge in book marketing: the reader trust problem created by AI—an... | 25m 17s | ||||||
| 9/25/26 | The 90-Minute Book Marketing Reset Every Author Needs This Fall | Fall has a sneaky way of turning perfectly reasonable authors into frantic marketers. Suddenly Q4 is here, holiday promotions are everywhere, Black Friday is looming, and it feels like you should be launching ads, pitching bookstores, posting more, discounting your book, growing your email list—and somehow doing all of it before Thanksgiving. We have a different suggestion: stop adding things and figure out what’s actually working. In this episode, Penny Sansevieri and Amy Cornell walk throug... | 19m 21s | ||||||
| 9/18/26 | Getting Seen Isn’t Enough: What Makes Readers Actually Buy | You’re running ads. You’re posting. You landed a podcast interview. Maybe you even got some media coverage. So why aren’t more people buying the book? Because getting seen and getting chosen are two very different things. In this episode, we’re digging into one of the most misunderstood parts of book marketing: the gap between visibility and reader confidence. Authors are often taught to judge every marketing effort by one brutal question: Did it sell books? But readers rarely move that quick... | 34m 15s | ||||||
| 9/11/26 | Is Someone Pretending to Be You Online? The New Author Scam | What if the next author scam isn’t someone trying to steal your money—but someone pretending to be you? Author scams are getting far more sophisticated. We’re no longer just seeing the obvious “Hollywood wants your book” emails or fake marketing offers. Scammers are creating convincing author profiles, copying real content, borrowing established reputations, and reaching out to readers and other writers using identities that aren’t theirs. And you absolutely do not need to be a bestselling au... | 36m 21s | ||||||
