HUB 504: AUTHOR PANEL – Rachel Radway and Sophie Lechner
- May 18
- 4 min read
You’ve written your book, finished the edits, and published. But now what?
Too many authors assume the hard part is over once the book is available. Without a clear launch strategy, they end up with a product but no plan. No reviews, no visibility, no path for turning readers into clients or opportunities. The result? A book that quietly disappears instead of building momentum.
That’s why I help authors build intentional launch strategies that lead to 50+ Amazon reviews and create a pipeline between their book and their business. With a well-organized launch team, personalized outreach, and events that spark conversations, your book can do more than sell; it can open doors.
If you're ready to stop guessing and start launching with clarity, let’s talk. Schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com.
And now, let me introduce today’s panel…
Rachel Radway wrote “Perceptive: Insights for leaders who feel more, process deeply, and think differently,” a thoughtful and empowering guide for leaders who identify as highly sensitive, intuitive, or neurodivergent. Through personal stories, practical insights, and compassionate guidance, she helps readers embrace their perceptiveness as a strength and lead with clarity, empathy, and authenticity.
Sophie Lechner wrote “Unlock Your Impact: The Roadmap to Magnetic Client Attraction for Entrepreneurs Who Hate Marketing,” a refreshing guide for mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to attract clients naturally—by leading with purpose instead of self-promotion—and transform marketing from a dreaded task into a joyful extension of their impact.
Please join me in welcoming Rachel and Sophie.
Would you please leave an honest rating and review on Apple Podcast? They are extremely helpful, and I read each one. Thanks for the inspiration!
In this episode, we discuss the following:
🟠 Lead With Strengths: Highly perceptive leaders can turn sensitivity into clarity and empathy.
🟠 Make Marketing Feel Human: Client attraction works better when it aligns with purpose, not self-promotion.
🟠 Build A Launch Team That Follows Through: The right supporters tend to complete the review process.
🟠 Ask For Honest Reviews: Not asking for five stars can still lead to strong social proof.
🟠 Use The Kindle Flash Sale As A Relaunch: A short promo window makes it easier to talk about the book again.
