#Simplenote scam email how to#
After a bit of haggling from the initial quote of $10,000 that included a “rebranding” of Renegade Writer Press, Tom drafted a contract where I would pay $7,500 over the time leading up to the launch of How to Do It All, plus “15% net receipt of all book sales” for the next 12 months.Ī NOTE FROM DIANA, CO-FOUNDER OF RENEGADE WRITER PRESS:

I ended up scrapping the idea of a re-launch for Commit, and decided to hire Tom Morkes for a full launch of How to Do It All, which I was about to start writing. I assured Tom that I wasn’t expecting him to duplicate my “failed” launch and he replied, “Linda, I don’t duplicate anything and so far have had no failures :)” All the right words…I was excited to get started! I had originally considered hiring Insurgent Publishing for a test run to re-launch my book Commit: How to Blast Through Problems & Reach Your Goals Through Massive Action, which I had never properly launched beyond sending a few emails (for reasons I explain in the book). Finally, Tom was very charismatic and reassuring, for example telling me (since I’m no longer on social media) that “social media is overrated” and “you do not need to blast on all channels to make this happen.” He mentioned in an email that “I only work with people who intend to sell more than 10,000 books in the first year alone.” Of course I intended to sell over 10,000 copies - who wouldn’t? - so that was a go! He put together a page of testimonials, and those included some very big names. When I contacted Tom Morkes in November 2015 about doing a book launch for me, he created a short video outlining the services he would provide. I had interviewed the owner, Tom Morkes, in the past and liked him. I hired Insurgent Publishing to launch my new book. Some key information to remember as you read this: How to Do It All is a nonfiction self-help title aimed at a female audience between the ages of 20-60. I learned a lot of hard lessons from this, and hope you will, too, as I’m passionate about helping writers and want to make sure no other self-publisher has to go through what I experienced. The launch team that constituted the bulk of my expenses ($6,500 of the $10,000 spent)? That’s another story. They all delivered on what they promised in their contracts. In short, the book cover designer, interior layout designer, and proofreader were all 100% worth the cost.
Hello, Renegades! This is a final accounting on the work and expenses that went into writing and publishing my book, How to Do It All: The Revolutionary Plan to Create a Full, Meaningful Life - While Only Occasionally Wanting to Poke Your Eyes Out With a Sharpie.
