The dashboard
What it is
Built for Indie and self-publishing authors (and debut traditionally-published authors) launching a book in the next 8 weeks who are juggling ARC readers, promo bookings, newsletter swaps, and a review countdown across sticky notes and spreadsheets.. Plan the launch. Recruit the readers. Stack the reviews. — a browser-native interactive dashboard that lives in a single HTML file, no installation required.
You wrote the book. Now the hard part: ARC readers in one inbox folder, promo
bookings on a sticky note, the launch countdown in your head at 2am, and reviews
you keep refreshing instead of recruiting. The Book Launch Command Center pulls
the whole launch into a single interactive dashboard that opens in any browser —
no app, no login, no subscription, nothing to learn.
★ THE EXCLUSIVE ZONE — THE ARC READER CRM ★
This is the part no planner PDF can do. Track every advance reader on one screen:
where they came from, what format you sent, whether they committed, whether you
nudged them, and — the number that matters — whether they actually POSTED the
review. The live Conversion rollup (committed → posted) shows you exactly how
many launch-day reviews are really coming, so you can chase the gap before
release day instead of after.
WHAT’S INSIDE (5 tabs)
• Overview — your launch profile, a live “days to launch” countdown, a readiness
meter, and a fully editable 5-phase / 20-task launch game plan.
• Launch Timeline — a T-minus countdown war room, pre-seeded from 8 weeks out to
launch day and beyond, every task on a date with a status.
• ARC Readers ★ — the advance-reader CRM with the committed-to-posted conversion
tracker.
• Buzz & Promo — promo bookings (Freebooksy, Robin Reads, BookBub) with cost,
plus newsletter swaps and ads with reach.
• Reviews & Rank — a daily launch-week log of reviews, stars, best rank, and sales.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
• You’re self-publishing (KDP, wide, IngramSpark) or debuting and doing your own
launch marketing.
• Your ARC list lives in five places and readers keep slipping through.
• You want one calm screen instead of six tabs and a panic spreadsheet.
• You’ll launch more than one book and want a plan you can reuse.
HOW IT WORKS
• One file. Double-click, it opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox.
• Works on Mac, Windows, iPad, and Chromebook.
• Auto-saves every keystroke to your browser. Export a backup any time.
• Pre-filled with a realistic sample launch so you see exactly how to use it —
then overwrite it with your own book.
WHAT YOU GET
• dashboard.html — the single-file interactive command center
• HOW-TO-SAVE.txt — a one-page quick start
You poured a year into this book. You deserve a launch that does it justice —
this helps you make that happen.
(Pairs perfectly with the Author Manuscript Dashboard for the write-and-query
stage. Message the shop if you’d like both.)
