Launch Your Imprint™ Starter Kit
A founder's guide to building an independent publishing brand from the ground up.
This starter kit walks you through the process of naming and positioning your imprint so it carries authority in the market from day one. You'll learn how to build a catalog strategy that gives your imprint a clear identity — which genres to anchor, how to sequence releases, and how to create a reader following that extends beyond any single title. We cover author acquisition basics: how to bring other writers under your imprint's brand, what agreements to put in place, and how to protect everyone involved. Finally, you'll get a complete overview of what RRC's Launch Your Imprint™ program covers — from distribution setup with Ingram and KDP to imprint brand development and catalog management.
