Editorial Book Review:

By William Reimers

Only the Beginning feels like a wake up call wrapped in encouragement. From the first few pages, Steve Kidd makes it clear that a quiet book is not a failed book and that authors have far more power to revive their work than they often realize. His ability to turn overwhelm into clarity is what makes this guide stand out. You can feel his empathy for authors who are tired of guessing what to do next, and that emotional connection gives the whole book a refreshing sense of possibility.

Reading this book feels like sitting with someone who understands how discouraging silence can be but refuses to let you stay stuck in it. Steve taps into themes that go beyond marketing strategy. He writes about visibility as something deeply human, rooted in real connection, intention, and consistency. It becomes clear that the problem is rarely the book itself but the absence of a system that works with the author’s strengths.

Steve’s style is direct without being harsh and practical without being cold. His stories and examples help break down the fear around promotion. One memorable moment is when he explains that authors should stop expecting their book to sell itself simply because it exists. It hits in a motivating way. Another strong section is his breakdown of how visibility loses momentum slowly and quietly, which helps authors understand that reviving a book is completely doable.

If there is a challenge for some readers, it might be the level of personal accountability he encourages. Steve does not sugarcoat the need for consistent effort, but even this is presented with honesty and respect.

By the end, the message is simple and empowering. A book going quiet is not the end of the story. It is only the beginning when the author chooses to show up again with purpose. Steve Kidd gives writers a roadmap to do exactly that, and anyone serious about giving their book real life beyond launch should read this.
