Book Marketing

Book marketing for authors who would rather be writing

Marketing a book is slow work done well: a retailer page that converts, a list of readers who have asked to hear from you, and a launch plan that does not depend on luck. We help you build all three.
  • Retailer page, categories and keywords
  • Author website and email list
  • A launch plan with honest expectations

Your book, available on

  • Amazon
  • Kindle
  • Barnes & Noble
  • Kobo
  • Apple Books
  • Google Play Books

    About This Service

    Visibility is built, rarely bought

    Few books sell because of a single clever campaign. They sell because the cover and description match what readers are looking for, because early reviews appear, and because the author keeps showing up where their readers already are.
    We start with the unglamorous foundations: a clear description, the right categories and seven well-chosen keywords. Then we build outward with an author site, a newsletter sign-up, advance-reader outreach and, where it makes sense, paid ads on a modest test budget. We will not promise sales figures, and we do not buy reviews, which retailers prohibit.
    • Description, categories and keyword research
    • An author website with a newsletter sign-up
    • Advance reader copy (ARC) outreach
    • A social and advertising plan scaled to your budget

    What Our Authors Say

    Rated 5 out of 5
    Cover, layout and the Amazon set-up were all handled by one team, which saved me weeks of chasing. Files arrived when they said they would.

    They told me my second chapter was doing the work of my fourth, and they were right. The finished book reads far more cleanly.

    I had never worked with an editor and was nervous about losing my voice. The notes were sharp but never took the book away from me.

    FAQs

    Book Marketing FAQs

    No, and be wary of anyone who does. We can improve what is within our control, such as presentation, targeting and consistency, but sales depend on the book, the market and time.
    Ideally two to three months before release, so there is time to gather advance reviews and build a small audience. We also support books that are already on sale.
    Never. Amazon and other retailers prohibit paid reviews and remove them, sometimes along with the account. We help you find genuine reviewers through advance copies and review services that follow the rules.
    A simple one, yes. It gives readers somewhere to find all your books, collects email addresses and does not depend on any social platform’s rules.
    The ones where your readers already are, and no more than you can keep up. Non-fiction authors often do well on LinkedIn, fiction authors on Instagram, TikTok or Facebook groups. We help you pick one or two.
    They can be, once the listing converts well. We start with a small test budget, measure the cost per sale and only scale if the numbers make sense.
    We track clicks, newsletter sign-ups, sales and page reads where the platform shares them, and report in plain figures rather than vanity metrics.
    Yes. A launch plan covers pre-orders, advance reviewers, an announcement to your list and a few weeks of follow-up activity.
