Sharon, you are so right about the budget. It spirals out of control very quickly.

I’d also add in a budget for promo. It’s so easy to overspend in the midst of the release for lots of things –decorations for your signing table, bookmarks, extra blog tours, etc. All of those things add up and it’s so easy to do those things because you think the book needs it. But setting a budget forces you to be more discerning. 🙂
