Planner and Tracker for Authors

I made this for authors to track their progress through your self-publishing process for up to 100 books. This includes knowing your word count, knowing what kind of edits you have done, a copy of your book cover and blurb.

For the social media tracker, it is for the pre-publishing tasks. You can always do more, but I suggest doing at least the ones listed. After publishing, make sure you continue to work on and add to your social media sites to keep the hype up.

You will need to advertise your books, so it is good to know your budget ahead of time and STICK TO IT. Periodically check in with your ads to make sure they are making you money. You might have to make adjustments in categories, keywords, or bids.

It is always good to know how your ratings are going. I did 100 boxes because that should be a goal for self-publishing authors.

I wanted to also add in the querying pages for those who want to attempt traditional publishing. I wish you the best of luck in that, because I didn’t make it out of the querying trenches.

I hope this tracker works as well for you as it does for me. :)
