Even though I'm not at the point where this book is particularly useful for my situation (I don't have any titles to relaunch), I've read the other books in this series and wanted to complete the set. It's full of great suggestions about how to evaluate and re-position old titles in order to keep interest up. If you've got a large backlist in need of a makeover, this is the book for you.

Chris Fox is one of the few voices in the independent publishing world that stands above the rest.

I had released my first book in my series a few years ago. Stuff happened and I didn't continue until now, although there was that nagging doubts about the shortcomings of said book.

This book was fantastic in helping me assess the problems, learn to live with certain things and take the right steps to make sure that I'm positioning myself better in this crowded market.

For me, the most powerful part of this book was creating a map of how readers move through my backlist. I thought I could tell you the answer to that question already. But perusing alsoboughts and yasiv.com (be sure to change over from "Books" to "Kindle Books" for best data) helped me see that certain of my books, even if they sell fine, aren't building my brand. Readers tend to move on to other authors after those books rather than diving deeper into my backlist, suggesting they're not the best options for promotion.
