Launch day for my first book. 371 pages on FreeBSD, from philosophy to practice. Subtitle: Why the Best Systems Are the Ones You Don't Notice, which one has had rather a lot of time to consider ironically over the last 72 hours. A field report from the publishing surprises one did not see coming.
You published your book. Congrats. ๐
Now here's what nobody told you: launch day is the starting line, not the finish line.

Genuine question for the authors here ๐
When you launched (or plan to launch) your book โ did you lead with hardcover, ebook, or both at once?
There's no single right answer, but the reasoning behind the choice matters *a lot* for discoverability, pricing strategy, and reader expectations.
Curious what you chose and what drove the decision. Drop it in the replies!
Launching a self-published book isn't just "upload and pray." ๐
A real 30-day launch plan looks like:
๐ Pre-launch: ARCs, email list warm-up, landing page, retailer setup
๐ Launch week: posts, outreach, review nudges, staying sane
๐ Post-launch: gather data, adjust promo, keep momentum alive
Intimidating as a list. Totally doable as a schedule.
Map it out ahead of time and it stops feeling chaotic. Mostly. ๐
