Thanks again to the amazing team at Apress who had turned my book into a professional piece and also providing with my free author physical copies.
I was going to release the complete book, but got a call from top tech publisher Apress. Got a very good two book offer from them and decided to go with them.

That's super interesting. Do you have any hard goals for your book? Also, do you happen to have some decent resource on how to launch a book...by the book? Like, how you advertise, when you start with it, offer preorders or not etc?
My wife wrote a book - well, almost, she's doing corrections and incorporating ideas from feedback f from beta readers and all that. But I'd like to help her much as I can, so I'm looking to some good strategic advice on how to do all that.

Nathan Barry (founder of ConvertKit) has a great book "Authority" which gives a lot of great advice in this area.

I don't have hard goals, but will keep blogging and building my audience. I am blogging for past 2 years and my book is result of all my blogs on GatsbyJS and building sites for the past 1 year on it.
For technical books you have to build an audience before publishing it. It did so with my blogs on dev and medium. Twitter and linkedin are great social networks for Technical book, but so do Facebook.
I am finding Quora also a good platform to build your audience. One very good an helping resource which i found is this blog

I had just release my book on leanpub with 80% of it complete. This feature is great on leanpub, where you can release half complete books. Anyways will be releasing the full book by first week of July.
So, please show your support and purchase the book or tell it to someone who is interested in developing blazing fast production websites in GatsbyJS.
I am mainly turning all my gatsbyjs blogs into the book. 60% of the book will be available on my blog with the other 40% exclusive content.
I am using leanpub to edit my md files from my blogs and turning it into a book. Till now five chapters are complete, with proof-reading.
