Homework #6 - How to Create a Launch Team - Sue Shigemitsu

Though I have already had my first launch party with my first book, I have discovered how much I have missed out while going through this session.

Presently, I don’t have my next book ready, but I have created a landing page and an application form for my upcoming one (which would be a year or two down the road).

Please feel free to take a check out the link and leave feedback. Thank you!


  1. Create a List of Ideal Launch Team Members

  • Don’t have one yet, but working on it. The people I have in mind are those who have the desire to reach out and encourage those who are outside of society that they are loved by God and not forgotten by Him.


  1. Create a landing page with information about your launch team.

  • Created a landing page, now all I need is information about my launch team.


  1. Create a Google Form for your launch team application form. Share the link to the course community. Here is a guide on How to Create a Google Form.

  • Done! (Link provided below)


  1. Set up a Discord Server


  1. Post to the course community one post with the following things:

  • A link to your landing page.

  1. If you have worked with a launch team in the past, share with the group things that you learned and would do differently next time.

  • No, I have not worked with a launch team yet.


  1. Share any creative ideas you have on how to thank your launch team

  • A printed (or downloadable) copy of a map the fantasy world that the book is written about.

  • A signed printed (or downloadable) copy of an illustrated postcard that has the illustration of a scene from that book.
