Reach readers

Book Marketing Services

Launch plans, PR, social campaigns and ongoing promotion built around the readers who buy in your category — not a generic checklist.

Get started Ask a question

Book marketing fails most often by being generic. A romance launch and an academic monograph launch have almost nothing in common except the word “launch”. We start from your category and work outward.

Services

  • Launch strategy and pre-order campaign planning
  • Press releases and media outreach to relevant outlets
  • Review copy distribution to reviewers who cover your genre
  • Social media content and campaign management
  • Newsletter and audience-building support
  • Blog tours, podcast placement and author interviews

Reporting

You get plain-language monthly reporting: what ran, what it cost, what it moved. If a channel is not working we say so and move the budget instead of continuing quietly.

What’s included

Category-specific plans

Built from how books in your genre actually reach readers.

PR & reviewer outreach

Review copies to people who genuinely cover your category.

Honest reporting

What ran, what it cost, what moved u2014 and what we are cutting.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes — all of them. You hold the copyright, the royalties and the final say on every decision. We are a service partner, never a rights holder.
How much does publishing a book cost?
It depends on which services your manuscript actually needs. Our pricing page lists flat rates per service so you can build a package without a sales call, and nothing is added to the invoice later.
How long does the whole process take?
A typical title moves from finished manuscript to live retail listings in eight to sixteen weeks. Editing depth and audiobook production are the two stages that move that range the most.
Can I order a single service instead of a package?
Absolutely. Plenty of authors come to us only for a cover, only for distribution, or only for an audiobook. Order one service today and add another whenever you want.
Where will my book actually be sold?
Across major global online retailers, independent bookstores, library and academic wholesalers, ebook storefronts, and audiobook platforms — in print, digital and audio depending on the editions you produce.
What if I am not happy with the work?
Every service includes revision rounds, and our guarantee page sets out exactly what happens if a deliverable misses the brief. We would rather redo it than ship something you dislike.
