For authors whose published book deserves a second launch

The Relaunch Edition

Your book, revised, expanded, and launched the way it should have been.

You wrote a book to win clients, serve an audience, or leave a legacy, and it isn't doing its job. The Relaunch Edition gives it a fresh start: a revised and expanded edition under the RoseDale Publishing pressmark, new distribution, and a relaunch to the people who already know you. It begins with a Relaunch Assessment and Plan from Clara Rose.

How It Works

Every Relaunch Edition moves through five steps. You stay the owner throughout: each ISBN is registered to you, and the book sits in your own accounts.

STEP 1: Relaunch Assessment and Plan

Talk 路 Assess 路 Plan

You begin with a kickoff call with Clara Rose. She then reads your published book and its retail listing and delivers a written assessment and a plan for the new edition: what works, what needs to change, and whether RoseDale will take it on. The assessment is $597, credited in full toward either package.

STEP 2: Revised and Expanded Edition

Add 路 Edit 路 Redesign

We add the new content agreed in your assessment, such as a new chapter, an updated foreword, or reader exercises. Your book gets a fresh edit and new interior and cover files for paperback, hardcover, and ebook editions. The back of the book gains a review page, a page inviting readers to connect with you, and discussion questions where the book suits group reading.

STEP 3: Distribution Setup

Amazon 路 Bookstores 路 Libraries

Your new edition is loaded to your own KDP account for Amazon and to IngramSpark, so bookstores and libraries can order it. We write your categories, keywords, and description, set up your Amazon author page, and retire the old edition so the two listings don't compete.

STEP 4: Relaunch

Announce 路 Ask 路 Promote

You receive a launch kit written in your voice: announcement emails, social posts, a review request email, an endorsement request email, and letters asking organizations for bulk orders or group reads. A day-by-day launch-week checklist tells you what to send and when, and we schedule a launch-week price promotion on your ebook.

STEP 5: Author Showcase

Cover Feature 路 Share Kit 路 Podcast

You are featured on the cover of Influence MATTERS, RoseDale's monthly digital magazine, with a share kit of your own. Past editions stay online, so your feature keeps working after launch week. You also record a solo episode of the Influence MATTERS podcast.

A Second Launch, Done Right

A better book, in more places, with a real launch behind it.

Your Book Deserved Better

Is this you?

You're a consultant, speaker, coach, therapist, business owner, or ministry leader. You published a book, and then very little happened. Maybe the publisher over-promised, or you had no time to market it.

If your book isn't bringing you clients, readers, or opportunities, it may be ready for a Relaunch Edition.

A New Edition, Not a Patch

Reviewed before it carries our name

Every book starts with an assessment, and RoseDale only takes on books we believe we can improve. Your new edition has real additions, a fresh edit, and a new design.

It is published in paperback, hardcover, and ebook, each with its own ISBN registered to you.

A Launch You Can Run

Written for you, ready to send

Your relaunch reaches the people who already know you: clients, colleagues, your congregation, your community. We write everything in your voice, and your job is to press send.

Then you're featured on the cover of Influence MATTERS magazine and as a guest on the Influence MATTERS podcast.

Start With Your Relaunch Assessment and Plan

Investment: $597, credited in full toward either package

Every Relaunch Edition begins here. After you purchase, you'll schedule your Kickoff Call with Clara Rose to talk about your book and your goals for it. She then reads your published book and its retail listing and gives you a written assessment and a plan for a new edition. You'll know what works, what needs to change, and whether a Relaunch Edition is right for your book before you commit to anything more.

聽Kimberly Harms, D.D.S.

This is my 7th book, and I can tell you with certainty that Clara delivers above and beyond any coach/publisher I have ever worked with.聽 I have two more projects in my head and I will ask Clara to help me with both聽of these.聽

My book, Flourish Forward, became more than I imagined because Clara gave more than was required.

 

Patty Moreno -聽Spiritual Formation Pastor

I was a little bit lost in the writing forest and聽unsure of my next steps. I'm sure I would still be spinning my wheels without Clara's help.聽She聽provided confidence, encouragement, and brilliant ideas, making the writing journey something I looked forward to and enjoyed.聽

Clara Rose quickly grasped my vision and guided me with grace, helping me set realistic timelines. I will forever be grateful for Clara Rose.

 

Philip Meinzen - GraceFlows.org

Clara made the process for publishing my first book very easy to follow, structured, yet flexible. I needed competence but also compassion as I figured it out.

If you are looking for a publisher who can make the process painless and even enjoyable, I encourage you to work with Clara Rose and RoseDale Publishing.

 

Amy Debrucque - Life on Purpose

When I first hired Clara I was looking for some guidance to get my book ready for publishing, but I soon discovered she had so much more to offer me. Her wisdom and guidance was exactly what I needed to get my book published.

After working with Clara Rose on multiple projects now, I highly encourage anyone on a writing journey to work with her.聽

Your book deserves a second chance.

I've walked alongside 50+ purpose-driven authors, and I know how much of yourself goes into a book. When it doesn't reach the people it was written for, the problem is rarely the message. Let me read your book and show you what a new edition could be.

What We Promise

RoseDale promises the work, not a sales figure.

We promise

  • A reviewed, improved edition that meets RoseDale's standard
  • Your book available to order through bookstores and libraries
  • A complete launch kit, ready to send
  • The cover of the first open edition of Influence MATTERS published at least 30 days after your final files are approved, with a share kit

We don't promise

  • A number of copies sold or a bestseller ranking
  • Your book stocked on bookstore shelves
  • Results without you sending the launch kit, or a number of reviews
  • A number of readers or listeners, or a specific cover month chosen in advance

What You'll Need

  • Proof of rights. If you published through an indie or vanity press, you'll need written confirmation that you can republish and that the old publisher will take its edition down.
  • Source files, if you have them. A previous publisher often owns the cover and interior files. Your new edition is redesigned either way.
  • A contact list. The relaunch draws on your own clients, colleagues, congregation, or community. A list of at least 100 people is a sensible minimum.
  • Agreement on the new content. "Revised and expanded" has to be true, so we agree on the additions in writing before the edit begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I start with an assessment?

Because every book needs something different. The assessment tells you what a new edition would change before you commit to a package, and it lets RoseDale take on only the books we believe we can improve.

Is the $597 credited toward the package?

Yes. It is credited in full toward the Relaunch Edition or the Relaunch Edition Plus when you move forward within 90 days of receiving your assessment.

Can I pay over time?

Yes. After your assessment, the Relaunch Edition is $6,400 paid in full or 4 monthly payments of $1,697. The Relaunch Edition Plus is $10,400 paid in full or 4 monthly payments of $2,697.

Are there costs beyond the package price?

Your ISBNs are included, and RoseDale charges no promotion fees. The only other cost is any printed copies you choose to order, which you buy directly from the printer.

Can I get a refund?

You may request a full refund of your assessment within 7 days of purchase, as long as your kickoff call hasn't taken place. You can read the full Author Terms anytime.

Do I keep the rights to my book?

Yes. Each ISBN is registered to you, and the book sits in your own accounts.

Will my existing reviews carry over?

They may not carry over to a substantially changed edition. We ask Amazon before promising a transfer.

Do you guarantee sales?

No. We promise the work: a better book, wider availability, and everything you need to relaunch it. Results depend on you sending the launch kit to your network.

When will I be on the magazine cover?

There is one cover each month. You take the cover of the first open edition published at least 30 days after your final files are approved and your feature materials are in.
