Book Launch Support

 
Book launch support services
 

You worked hard on your book and want to give it the best possible entrée into the world, but you may not have the resources to support a full publicity campaign. If you have some DIY spirit and need guidance about when, where, and how to promote your book, we can help.

What works for one author doesn’t always work for another. Our personalized, informed services help position your book with the most receptive audiences. A writing career is built one book at a time, and we work with authors to build on past connections and successes as they aim for future goals. Depending on your needs, we can offer you:

 

Press Kit 

Your book is coming out—congratulations! But how do you get the word out? We can help you with promotional materials and ideas on how best to get attention for your book. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to book publicity and promotion. We’ll listen to your goals and help you determine a plan that’s right for you. Your plan might include:

  • A press release

  • A customized approach to placing essays in conjunction with your release

  • A list of potential influencers and/or outlets to approach about your book release

  • A ‘sell sheet’ for bookstores and other retail outlets

  • Extended biographies

  • An author Q&A or interview

  • Talking points for your book

 

Media Outreach 

The media world changes fast. We keep up on what’s happening, what works—and what doesn’t—so we can offer you the best possible advice and direction. We can help you develop a strategy with targeted, customized pitches (may include blogs, podcasts, digital and traditional media) and essay placement development.

 

Bookseller Outreach

As former independent booksellers, we know and value the role booksellers play in the book world. We can build a tailored list of stores, buyers, and/or events coordinators to help you fulfill your dreams of seeing your book on shelves!

 

Blurb and Review Assistance

A blurb is an early quote of support for your book and the right one can garner exactly the kind of attention you want. A book review from an industry magazine, journal, or other publication can help a book take off. We understand that marketing yourself and asking for other authors or professionals to read your work can seem daunting. We’re happy to help brainstorm best contacts and help with requests.
