    HUB 492 AUTHOR PANEL - Chris Fenning, Jennifer Ledet, and Susan Fitzell
    Feb 16 2026
    Publishing your book is a moment worth celebrating—but what happens next is what truly determines your book’s impact. The most successful authors aren’t the ones with the loudest voices or biggest followings—they’re the ones who build relationships, create systems, and stay focused on the long game. A strong book launch isn’t about short-term buzz. It’s about building a bridge between your book and your business. When you treat your book as a strategic asset, every review, podcast interview, and event becomes a stepping stone toward greater visibility and revenue. That’s the lens I bring as a book launch strategist. I help authors design launches that feel authentic, achievable, and aligned—using launch teams, soft launch strategy, and virtual events to generate reviews, referrals, and results. If you're ready to turn your book into your best business development tool, let’s talk. Schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Now let’s dive into our author panel... Jennifer Ledet wrote “Live and Lead by Choice, Not by Chance: Flourish at Any Age, Stage, and Season of Life,” a practical and inspiring guide that helps leaders step out of autopilot and intentionally design a life and career aligned with their values, purpose, and vision for what’s next. Susan Fitzell wrote “Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Maximizing Success through Inclusive Dynamic Workplace Design™,” a forward-thinking resource that equips leaders and organizations to create inclusive environments where neurodivergent employees can thrive and contribute at their highest level. Chris Fenning wrote “Effective Meetings: Great Results. Less Pain. Every Time.,” a concise, no-nonsense playbook that helps leaders reclaim their calendars, run better meetings, and drive clear outcomes without wasting time or energy. Please join me in welcoming Chris, Jennifer, and Susan. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Define Success Beyond Rankings: A grounded view of success that prioritizes doors opened, conversations started, and opportunities created over obsessing on Amazon rank. 🟠 Reframe Bestseller Status as a Distraction: Why the “Amazon bestseller” badge is a game, and why written reviews and ongoing momentum matter more. 🟠 Build a Reviews System That Keeps Working: How a structured follow-up approach helps reviews keep coming in after the initial push, not just during launch week. 🟠 Use Amazon Ads as a Visibility Lever: A realistic look at ads as ongoing optimization work, including how to define what “success” means before spending money. 🟠 Treat Marketing as a Long-Game Practice: Why book marketing has to stay on your radar, and how “refresh” moments can re-open relationships, including through LinkedIn. 🟠 Build a Simple, Repeatable Marketing Plan: A reminder that the authors who win keep showing up with a plan, even after the book has been out for months or years.

  • HUB 491: AUTHOR PANEL - Carol Enneking and Janice Litvin

    HUB 491: AUTHOR PANEL - Carol Enneking and Janice Litvin
    Feb 9 2026
    When you sit down to write, it’s tempting to aim for perfection right out of the gate. But the truth is, your first draft isn’t meant to be flawless—it’s meant to exist. The real transformation happens later, in the rewriting and refining. Allowing yourself to write imperfectly opens the door to discovery. It’s through revising, reshaping, and rethinking that your message gains clarity and power. Every rewrite deepens your understanding of your story—and every messy moment moves you closer to the book you’re meant to create. I can introduce you to Biz Book Pub Hub Partners, who can help you overcome writing challenges. Check out our curated directory, free virtual networking events, and more at www.BizBookPubHub.com. Now, let’s meet our panelists: Carol Enneking wrote “The Rebalancing Act: Wisdom from Working Women For Success that Matters,” a guide to redefining success on your terms, blending career ambition with wellbeing. Through candid stories and field‑tested strategies, it helps you set boundaries, navigate change, and pursue what actually matters. Janice Litvin wrote “Banish Burnout Toolkit” which offers a step‑by‑step, science‑backed program to spot stress triggers and build sustainable habits. With practical exercises and workplace scripts, it helps you prevent burnout before it starts and sustain your energy over time. Please join me in welcoming Carol and Janice. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Reverse-Engineer the Book’s Business Role: Treat the book as a tool for speaking, programs, or client conversations, not a standalone product. 🟠 Build a Launch Team Around Future Revenue: Invite people to join your launch team who are likely prospects or referral partners for what you want to sell next. 🟠 Focus on Written Reviews, Not Just Star Ratings: Written reviews are harder to earn, but they carry more trust and marketing value. 🟠 Create a Review Follow-Up System: Most supporters need a reminder, and a simple process helps reviews actually get posted. 🟠 Pair the Book With Speaking Offers: When the book is built into keynotes and workshops, it becomes a natural revenue stream. 🟠 Use Collaborations to Expand Reach: Cross-promotion works best when it’s strategic and aligned, not just a generic swap. 🟠 Turn Launch Outreach Into Conversations: A launch sequence can reopen dormant relationships and spark new opportunities.
