You want to create a special edition of your book but you don't know where to start?

You're overwhelmed by options and need a plan for your special editions.

You need a fancy book for a specific event and want the most low-stress options out there...

Why is all of this special edition business so stressful and confusing?

I'm Steffanie Holmes, bestselling and 7-figure author, and I'm here to help un-confuse you.

I looooove pretty books. I've made my bestselling books into special editions, and my worst-selling books (what I learned may surprise you). I've made Event Exclusive editions, special editions in other languages, print runs from 20 books to 1000 books, and made every mistake under the sun.

I've also made over $800,000 on special editions since I started in 2022.

The special edition book market has matured, which means that readers have plenty of choices. Publishers are printing special editions and getting them into bookstores for cheaper than us indies can make them. It used to be that just having a special edition book made you stand out, but now you have to be strategic about what you're doing.

That may sound like the time for special editions is over. It's anything but. You can have so much fun (and make SO MUCH INCOME) printing and selling pretty books. It's such an exciting time to be an author. And I want to help by giving you a strategy and talking you through the process of creating and selling pretty books.

In this 3 hour workshop, I dive deep into special editions with you. We talk about what's working RIGHT NOW, options for printing special editions (on any budget), ideas for indie and trad pub authors, special editions features (including some I guarantee you haven't heard of), marketing SEs in the current landscape, SEs in different genres (not just romance and fantasy), the reader funnel, fulfilment and shipping (including for authors who don't live in the US), and tips for in-person events (I have SO MANY TIPS). Phew, that's a lot, but I cover it all!

I love the excitement of holding a fancy book in my hands, and I think with a solid strategy in place, you could soon be holding your very own fancypants special edition book. Join me to learn more!

GOT QUESTIONS? I'VE GOT ANSWERS

Click on the questions below. If yours isn't answered here, then please contact me and I'll help.

Q. Do I have to be on the webinar live?

A. Nope! There is no live webinar. The workshop has been recorded and the recording and transcript is what you're purchasing.

Q. What if I’ve done special edition books before. Is this right for me or is it for absolute beginners?

A. I do a fair bit of content for beginners. However, I think we can always learn more about special edition features, options, and strategies, as well as what's working now rather than a few years ago, so I think you will still learn oodles.

Q. I’m traditionally published or pursuing traditional publishing. Is this for me, or only for indies?

A. It’s for both indie and trad! You may not know this, but I’ve recently signed a traditional publishing contract. I've done two special editions for my trad books and helped other trad authors with special edition campaigns. I have a section in the workshop that deals specifically with trad, as well as lots of ideas and tips for strategy and book marketing.

Q. How will Rock Your Special Edition be conducted?

You'll get a link to download the recorded workshop and transcript, and you can watch them at your leisure.

Q. What if I haven’t launched a book yet? Is this workshop for complete beginners?

A. I have lots of ideas to launch with a special edition if this is your first novel. However, I think this workshop is best for writers who have completed or nearly completed a book and are intending to publish it. This isn't for you if you're still learning how to finish a novel.

What if I'm not satisfied/don't find the workshop useful?

I offer a 100% money back guarantee within 7 days of purchase.

What if I have questions or need extra help?

All you have to do is ask! Hit me up on steff@rageagainstthemanuscript.com.
