Your book goes in. A complete marketing plan comes out.

Author Launch Kit is book marketing software for nonfiction authors. It takes your finished book and builds everything a launch team would — content, outreach, and strategy — in minutes, not months.

  • Start with your finished book. Upload your manuscript or answer a short set of questions. Author Launch Kit builds a knowledge base around your book, your brand, and your readers.
  • Generate everything a launch needs. Book descriptions, press releases, podcast pitches, social graphics, email sequences, speaker sheets, and an Amazon strategy — in minutes, not months.
  • Get found by readers and AI. Run the AI Discoverability Audit, see exactly why your book is invisible, and follow concrete steps until readers — and AI tools — find your book.

What authors say about Author Launch Kit

"Houston, we have a problem. I just spent about 45 minutes in deep strategic mode discussing backend publishing of my book... and OMG! If you don't have the Author Launch Kit (ALK for the cool kids) or aren't using Julie the Book Bot (JB as I call her), you're missing out. AI has changed the game. Having 'Julie' on my team has opened up possibilities of what is possible with the right resources." — Antwon Lincoln

"The best decision I made in my book journey was to work with you and your team. My book is so much better than it would have been had I cobbled together the work of freelancers and tried to figure out all this stuff for myself. Thank you." — Alex Vohr

"I love and respect Book Launchers, Julie, and the whole team! Very capable, professional, and thoughtful. I'm eternally thankful to Book Launchers for helping publish my first book." — Cynthia Pan

"I find Author Launch Kit and the Book Launchers community highly motivational, and I'm excited about the opportunity to participate in relevant programs and activities." — Ramesh

Readers now ask AI for book recommendations. Does AI know your book exists?

Millions of readers ask ChatGPT and other AI tools what to read next. The AI Discoverability Audit shows you exactly why your book is invisible and gives you the framework to fix it. You get a scorecard on how AI tools understand, cite, and reference you and your book, plus 5 concrete steps to improve your score. The goal: a book that gets found by readers and recommended by AI. Most book marketing tools don't do this. One audit, scored across the AI tools readers actually ask: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and more.

What to look for in your audit over time

  • Discoverability score went from 4 to 8
  • 12 podcast pitches sent, 3 booked
  • Book description rewritten
  • Conversion up

ChatGPT gives you words. Author Launch Kit gives you a plan.

Generic AI tools produce generic output because they don't know what actually sells books. Author Launch Kit was built by Book Launchers using the same process we use to market our own clients. After 800+ nonfiction books, we know the real questions authors ask, the real launch problems they hit, and the real work that moves the needle. Every tool inside Author Launch Kit exists because a real author needed it.

And Author Launch Kit goes past content. It shows you what to build, in what order, and who to send it to, so your visibility keeps growing long after launch week.

Where you are now. Where Author Launch Kit takes you.

  • From "your book feels invisible and ignored, no matter how good it is" to "your book gets discovered by the right readers and recommended by AI tools."
  • From "feels like you're launching alone without support" to "guided tools, clear direction, and a system you can actually follow."
  • From "I'm doing the work, but is it the right work?" to "a clear plan, and proof you're making progress on it."
