Advanced Praise for Supply Chain 20/20:

"A bible if you're an author and a forward-looking solution which could revolutionise the publishing industry. A brilliant read." 

                               -The Bookbag

"From copywriting, to the ins-and-outs of printing, it is a must-read for anyone thinking about writing and marketing in a book. "

                               -Pacific Book Review

"Publishing professional Kim Staflund has produced several dozen short ebooks on making it as an author, covering subjects as diverse as publishing poetry and appropriately pricing an ebook....her clear, plain-language directions — from understanding copyright law to selecting colors for the cover art — will be a godsend to authors choosing the indie route and looking for a fully-realized guide."

                               -BlueInk Reviews

"The text introduces two revolutionary ideas: the Local Multiplier Effect and “rapid release” publishing .... Businesslike and to the point, this swift and organized book includes practical insights that will help when it comes to adapting these strategies to the needs of individual authors (some may want to release a long novel as series of novellas published every six weeks, for example, or may want to make use of on demand printing machines). Staflund introduces strategies of varying heft, but whether the task is large or small, maintains a sense of one’s publishing goals at each step."

In 2018 and 2019, I was blogging, email marketing, and publishing books regularly. My Amazon author ranking was rising each month. I was confidently on my way to joining the ranks of the Amanda Hockings and Mark Dawsons of this world all while helping other authors accomplish the same.  

Then I was sucker punched in early 2020, along with so many others, when our governments announced a lockdown of all non-essential businesses. With my principal income at risk, I had to let my side hustle go. I stopped living and quickly switched to survival mode. Was I an essential employee at an essential business? So much of it was out of my hands, but I showed up every day to prove my worth. And I prayed every night. 

Only hindsight has been able to show me that 2020’s worldwide wake-up call was actually a hidden gift we all needed to unwrap. It isn’t about individual success online. If your local community is suffering, you’ll never thrive in the long run. If any one link is broken, the whole supply chain suffers. 

Allow me to introduce you to a new and improved book supply chain that can help us all work more efficiently while earning both local and international profits simultaneously. We can protect ourselves by helping each other. In fact, we can thrive! Does that sound farfetched? Read this book, and you will see just how realistic it is. It already exists. Now we just have to utilize it effectively.
