A plan for your book’s next stage

Launching soon? Already published? Start here.

Book marketing changes with the stage of the book. Begin with the book and the readers you want to reach.

01

Before publication

Clarify your reader, author message, and promotional materials while the book is being prepared. Connect the release schedule with the assets and author participation the campaign will need.

02

At the book launch

Bring the release details, available channels, and promotional priorities together. A launch plan should explain what happens, who does the work, and how the campaign will be reviewed.

03

After publication

Share the current book listing, earlier promotional work, and what you want to improve. A new campaign should respond to what you know about the audience and the book’s presentation.

Choose the work your book needs

Professional services. Clear deliverables.

Explore the work below, then discuss your priorities with a specialist. Your written proposal confirms the services, deliverables, revision stages, and fees.

01

Book Marketing Strategy

Start with the reader most likely to care about your book. Genre, subject, audience interests, and the reason to read it shape the message.

  • Audience and genre positioning
  • Campaign objectives and priorities
  • A practical sequence of marketing work
02

Author Promotion Services

Give readers a clear introduction to the person behind the book your experience, perspective, and author voice.

  • Author message and positioning
  • Biography and promotional copy scope
  • A consistent introduction across assets
03

Book Promotion Materials

Strong materials explain the book quickly and give readers a reason to explore it, with copy and graphics built around one message.

  • Book-focused promotional copy
  • Agreed graphics and campaign assets
  • Materials adapted to selected channels
04

Amazon Book Marketing Planning

For an Amazon edition, begin with how the book is presented to its intended reader description, positioning, and promotional options.

  • Reader-focused listing discussion
  • Book description and message priorities
  • Campaign options for the Amazon edition
05

Book Publicity Planning

Publicity starts with a story that’s relevant to the audience or outlet you hope to reach. We discuss angles, availability, and materials first.

  • Relevant publicity angles
  • Promotional and outreach materials
  • Specific outreach tasks in the proposal
06

Book Launch Campaign Planning

Turn a collection of ideas into an organized release plan that connects assets, channels, author participation, and reporting.

  • Launch sequence and responsibilities
  • Channel and asset coordination
  • Campaign review and reporting scope
Promotion with a clear purpose

Choose the work that fits your readers.

A book promotion plan doesn’t need every possible channel. It needs a clear reason for the activities you choose.

Improve the book’s presentation

Start with the description, audience message, and promotional assets. If readers can’t quickly understand who the book is for, extra promotion may simply put an unclear message in front of more people.

Plan an author-led launch

Bring your existing audience, contacts, and communication channels into the discussion. An organized launch helps you use the materials you have and prepare the ones you need.

Explore a broader campaign

Discuss paid promotion, publicity, or additional campaign support when those activities fit your audience and budget. Your proposal specifies the channels and the work involved.

  • Promotion priorities
Project path 03

Promotion Project

For a broader promotional scope.

  • Coordinated promotional deliverables
  • Agreed campaign support
  • Progress review and reporting scope

Every project is quoted individually your written proposal confirms the deliverables, revision stages, milestones, and fees.

Turn interest into a next step

Give your book a message readers can understand.

A book marketing company should be able to explain the connection between the book, the audience, and the work being proposed.

01

Start with the reader

A memoir, a business book, and a children’s story need different messages. Explain who the book is written for and what makes it relevant to that reader.

02

Make the materials consistent

Use the same core message across the description, author introduction, graphics, and promotional copy adapted to each channel without losing the book’s identity.

03

Define the campaign’s job

A launch plan, a publicity project, and a paid campaign deliver different activities. Agree on scope and reporting so you can assess the work against its purpose.

Five stages. A clear next step.

From your book’s message to a promotion plan.

See how the project takes shape, where your decisions matter, and what happens next.

1Stage 01

Introduce the book

Share the genre, release stage, available editions, current listing, and marketing goals even if you’re still deciding which services you need.

2Stage 02

Clarify the reader and message

Discuss the audience, what makes the book relevant, and your author positioning. Review existing materials before deciding what needs work.

3Stage 03

Set the campaign scope

Agree on strategy, assets, channels, tasks, timing, and reporting. Service fees are kept separate from any advertising or third-party budget.

4Stage 04

Prepare the promotion

Develop the materials and campaign work included in your project, coordinating author input and approvals around the release schedule.

5Stage 05

Review the next priorities

Assess the agreed activities and measures. Decide what should continue, what needs adjustment, and which next steps fit the budget.

Understand the marketing budget

What are you paying for in a promotion campaign?

A useful quote explains the work behind the price. Strategy, copy and graphics, publicity preparation, and campaign execution are different commitments and should be described separately.

Planning and positioning

Audience research, author positioning, channel choices, and a launch sequence form the campaign’s direction.

Materials and execution

Copy, graphics, publicity materials, and campaign management require different levels of production and ongoing work.

Media and third-party costs

Advertising spend, placements, or external services may sit outside the service fee. Confirm budget and authorization before paid activity begins.

Ask how performance will be reviewed. Reach, engagement, clicks, and book sales answer different questions the right measures depend on the campaign’s purpose. Sales are never guaranteed.

Questions about your book?

Can’t find your answer? A book specialist is happy to help.

Yes. We’ll explain the relevant positioning, listing, promotional material, and campaign planning options for your Amazon edition.

Yes. Share your current edition, previous promotion, and goals so we can discuss an appropriate marketing scope no publishing services required.

Service fees and advertising budgets are separate unless your proposal expressly includes both. We explain any agreed media or third-party costs before paid activity begins.

The scope may include publicity planning, promotional copy, or outreach preparation. Your proposal specifies the activities. Paid placements are identified before you authorize them.

No. Independent outlets make their own decisions. Ask which tasks are included, which materials will be prepared, and whether any proposed placement is paid.

We agree on activities and reporting before the project starts. Reach, clicks, engagement, and sales measure different things. Book sales depend on the book, audience, budget, and market and are not guaranteed.

Start when you have a realistic view of the book’s preparation and release schedule. Early planning gives time to clarify the reader, prepare assets, and coordinate author participation.

Advertising can be one part of a plan, but positioning, description, promotional materials, and objectives matter too. Ask whether the project covers planning, ad execution, or both.

No. It’s an optional starting point for authors who want to assess an unpublished manuscript. You can talk to us about marketing directly.
