PLANNING
Even before you finish, regardless if you’re writing fiction or non-fiction, you need a strategy for your work. We can help you with the following questions:
1. What should I publish first, the eBook or the print book?
2. What are my goals for the book?
3. What marketing activities do I want to do myself?
4. Should I do signings, TV and/or radio?
5. How will I get reviews and media attention?
We’ll help you write a plan and develop a strategy consistent with your goals for the book.
MEDIA KIT
We design electronic and/or print materials that will capture the attention of your target audience, based on the your marketing objectives. Includes a flyer/media sheet that can be used for posters or mailings.
Uses include:
1. Send or personally deliver to bookstores where you would like to do signings
2. Send to radio stations or TV shows where you would like to do interviews
3. Communication with press, radio, print and bookseller contacts
4. Use flyer for book fairs, mailings, and signings
WEBSITE DESIGN
We develop a cost effective website consistent with the author’s marketing strategy, the look and feel of the book’s cover, and content. The site will be attractive, easy to navigate, and provide an effective visitor experience.
Uses include:
1. Create a presence on the web
2. Provide an electronic reference to backup the author’s marketing strategy
3. Increase awareness of the author and his or her book
4. Encourage book sellers, book buyers, and readers to buy and/or sell the book
5. Provide the opportunity for visitors to place an order or contact the author
MARKETING LETTERS and PRESS RELEASE
Most authors find it difficult to write objectively about their own work. We will write effective and appropriate cover letters, and press release.
Uses include:
1. Press kit mailings
2. Marketing campaign communications
VIDEO AND BOOK TRAILERS
Independently published authors can have their own book trailers or virtual personal appearance video to use on their web site, or with their eBook. We can do something as simple as making your PowerPoint presentation into a video or a more complex review of your book using music, images and voice over.
