While many members of the Book Launchers team are based in and around Los Angeles, the team works remotely. Why battle traffic if you don’t have it?

What unites us is a passion for quality and our clients success. Book Launchers founder Julie Broad started the company with author’s success in mind. She is a Top 20 under 40 award winning entrepreneur, an Amazon Overall #1 bestselling author (her first self-published niche non-fiction book actually topped the charts of all the millions of books sold in Canada on Amazon for 36 hours and was in the Top 100 print books sold for 45 days!), and she’s a recognized expert on self-publishing, branding and marketing (Book Launchers YouTube channel has more than 27,000 subscribers – and is definitely worth watching to get a feel for the company). Her latest book, Self-Publish and Succeed is getting rave reviews from top indie publishing professionals too!

Most importantly, we’re growing and learning every day so working here is a fun adventure.
