Comments on: Creating a Publication Timeline for Your Next Release https://writershelpingwriters.net/2023/05/creating-a-publication-timeline-for-your-next-release/ Helping writers become bestselling authors Wed, 21 Jun 2023 10:56:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Emmy-Lou James https://writershelpingwriters.net/2023/05/creating-a-publication-timeline-for-your-next-release/#comment-764377 Wed, 21 Jun 2023 10:56:33 +0000 https://writershelpingwriters.net/?p=50778#comment-764377 Absolutely love this article. So often people say to me “so when are you going to publish that book?” Like it’s something that just happens as soon as you finish your first draft. Seeing in black and white the stages we go through really highlights just how much goes into the whole process.
I love the graphics and am looking forward to incorporating them into my processes. Thanks so much!

Honestly, with all the things we juggle, we were just going under and couldn’t keep all the balls in the air. So we had to come up with a system. I’ll say, though, that I do love processes; putting together a system for the things we do is one of my favorite things. I really think it improves efficiency and helps keep us both sane :).

I’m glad it was helpful, Katie. We actually do have quite a bit of marketing posts. This page is all about the business of writing—including how to brand and market yourself. Lots of information there, so check it out :).

Judy, I believe there are ways to automate the dates in Excel—a macro, or certain formulas that will automatically determine the dates for each task based on how much time is needed and when it’s supposed to start. I just haven’t been able to figure those out. But if you’ve got the coding know-how to make this part of the job easier, I say go for it :).

I think my “coding skills” will be put to use as I create something that will automatically update timelines as I firm up how long it’s going to take me to do things.

Thank you for another GREAT article.

I would love to see a follow-on article on marketing your book.

It’s so important to have a written plan. When I managed software development teams, we put together detailed project plans, then we added a certain amount of time because “No matter how carefully you plan, things go wrong.”

You and Angela are so wise to have a plan and work to it for your releases. Best wishes for continued success!

There’s just so much to remember. I can’t imagine working on multiple books without some kind of timeline to stay on track. Good for you!

I developed something very similar when I started working on my latest book, Reinventing Rita, plus created a master timeline for all my books (current and in progress) so I didn’t ignore the published “siblings” or the book I am currently working on but won’t come out for another year or so.
Great post!
