What we try
The book, channel, audience and reason for the experiment.
The Úlfarr project / Open notebook
The work behind the books.
Recorded as we go.
Our first full workflow test reached publication and led to revised guides. Below that completed case study, our earlier promotion notebook records what we tried and observed. These are separate records, each with its own dates.
17 October 2026 · Completed workflow test
One new book. A revised system.
Two Seasons, One Bed reached Kindle and paperback publication. The project informed clearer handovers, chapter consistency, approval steps and production checks in the revised guides.

Here is where we stand.
04 / Campaign check
Review copies are available. Participation has not followed yet.
Our Booksprout campaign for Raise Them Strong was active at the 4 October check, with 0 participants out of 25 available places and 0 campaign reviews. The campaign showed an end date of 6 October.
The free Readers’ Favorite review request was still pending. Amazon continued to show 3 global ratings at 5.0 out of 5; those existing ratings are not evidence of results from these review requests.
What we learn: listing a review copy does not by itself bring readers. These observations do not establish why participation is zero, or predict how another book will perform.
Planned at that check: check the completed campaign, assess the invitation and audience, and record the next decision. Keep requests for reviews voluntary and independent.

Seven earlier titles to learn from.
Our collection spans family, practical living, motherhood and everyday life. Browse the covers, descriptions and Amazon pages alongside the ideas in The Publishing Chain.
The books reflect our publishing experience. Each has its own history; we do not claim they all followed The Publishing Chain.

Support that continues after the last page.
Strong the Quiet Way includes a 7-day companion inside the book. A separate, free 4-week guide lets readers continue putting its ideas into practice.
The question we are exploring: does useful support around a book help readers stay engaged? We will record what we learn as evidence becomes available.
