Our Strategic Author Marketing Services
Author Media Training
Deciding to undergo media relations training is one of the smartest investments an author can make. After investing time and money to produce a book, hiring an author publicist or book publicity firm to promote it, authors can be prepared to handle every media opportunity that comes their way.

It is a low-cost, powerful PR, author promotion and book publicity tool.
Amazon Optimization
Authors and publishers often wonder how to make their book stand out online. As more and more books are published each year, the competition in the marketplace has increased dramatically, making PR and marketing tools such as Amazon Optimization even more important, especially for indie authors. Too many authors don’t realize Amazon is a vitally important part of author marketing services.
Author Resources
Preparation is essential when entering into a relationship with an author publicist for a book publicity campaign or ebook marketing effort to promote a printed book or e-book. Various industry resources can add important elements for marketing campaign(s).
From articles and organizations to trade shows and informational websites, an educated author is bound to be a more successful one. Add as many author marketing services and book promotion services to your arsenal as possible.
Book Advertising for Authors
The more an author is in front of the public, the more likely a book will stand out from the thousands of other books published each year. The Internet has provided many resources for book marketing for authors with more options for promotion, PR and book advertising. Return on investment is always a concern when engaging in a book advertising campaign. Typically, smaller, niche outlets that cater to specific audiences related to a book are best. Consider all options when developing your book marketing campaign!
