When the confetti settles and the launch week adrenaline fades, this is where most authors quietly disappear. Not because they failed. Not because the book wasn’t good. But because they think the launch was the finish line. It’s not. It’s the starting point of long-term visibility. In Part 1, we talked about keeping your book alive in conversations.
