What makes your email marketing effective?

We create targeted, personalized campaigns that keep your audience engaged, remind them of your new releases, and encourage them to buy your books. Your email newsletter is the only channel you own end to end—it’s an asset that keeps working even when other marketing efforts fade. We help you build and nurture your subscriber list, craft compelling content that converts, and integrate email campaigns with your book launches, price promotions, and social media efforts for maximum impact.


How do book reviews help my book’s success?

Authentic reviews build trust and credibility, making readers more confident in purchasing your book. Reviews also improve visibility on platforms like Amazon and Goodreads by signaling to algorithms that your book is engaging and worthy of promotion. On Amazon, reviews directly impact your search ranking and conversion rates. On Goodreads—the world’s largest social reading platform with millions of users—reviews serve as social proof that influences reader decisions. A strategic review campaign across Amazon, Goodreads, and Barnes & Noble can significantly boost your book‘s discoverability and sales


Can social media ads really sell books?

Yes! With properly optimized Meta (Facebook & Instagram) campaigns, your book reaches the right audiences—readers most likely to buy. Video ads, in particular, achieve up to 45% higher engagement rates compared to static images. Successful book ad campaigns typically achieve 1.5–3% click-through rates with $0.50–$2.00 cost per click, depending on genre and competition. A strong campaign can deliver a 3:1 return on ad spend—earning $3 for every $1 invested. We manage the entire funnel: from awareness ads that build your audience to conversion campaigns that drive actual sales


What does your agency team specialize in?

Our team specializes in comprehensive book marketing across the three major retail and discovery platforms: Amazon, Goodreads, and Barnes & Noble. We bring together strategists, ad buyers, content creators, and analytics experts who understand the unique dynamics of each platform. Unlike generalist marketers, our team lives and breathes the book industry—we know what makes readers click, what drives reviews, and what turns browsers into buyers.

How do you help authors on Amazon?

Amazon is the largest book retailer in the world, and we maximize your presence there through multiple channels:
  • Amazon Author Central – We optimize your free author page with a compelling bio, author photo, and up-to-date information that builds credibility with readers
  • Amazon Ads – We manage Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Lockscreen Ads with precise keyword targeting and bid optimization
  • KDP Select & Kindle Unlimited – We help you decide whether Kindle Unlimited exclusivity makes sense for your book, leveraging tools like Kindle Countdown Deals and Free Promotions to boost visibility
  • A+ Content – We design enhanced product descriptions with images and comparison charts that increase conversion rates
  • Category & Keyword Optimization – We research and place your book in the right categories with high-intent keywords to maximize discoverability

How do you help authors on Goodreads?

Goodreads connects authors with a highly engaged, book-loving audience of over 125 million readers. Our Goodreads services include:
  • Author Program Setup – We claim and optimize your free author profile with bio, photos, links, and updates
  • Giveaways – We run strategic giveaway campaigns that generate buzz and collect reviews from interested readers
  • Goodreads Advertising – We manage native newsfeed ads (with average 0.84% click-through rates) and run-of-site banner ads (average 0.75% CTR) that target readers by genre and author preference
  • Q&A and Engagement – We help you connect with readers through the Ask the Author feature and reading-group discussions
  • Review Generation – We implement campaigns that encourage authentic reviews from engaged Goodreads users

How do you help authors on Barnes & Noble?

Barnes & Noble remains a vital retail channel, and we help you make the most of it:
  • B&N Press Optimization – We set up and optimize your author account, ensuring your book listings are complete and compelling
  • Metadata Management – We tailor your book’s metadata specifically for B&N readers—small tweaks that make a big difference in discoverability
  • Promotional Opportunities – We access special promotions through B&N’s partnership with BookTrib, including reviews, featured articles, author interviews, and social promotion
  • Pricing & Promotion Strategy – We help you test subtitles, adjust pricing for promotions, and react quickly when categories underperform
  • Series Management – We ensure your series listings are properly linked and discoverable across the platform

What social media platforms do you use for book marketing?

We deploy a multi-platform social media strategy tailored to your genre and audience:
Meta (Facebook & Instagram) – Our primary paid advertising channel. We run single image ads for book covers, carousel ads for series or multiple highlights, and video ads that achieve 45% higher engagement. We target readers by interest, author affinity, and demographic with daily budgets starting at $10–$20 for romance and thriller genres.
TikTok (BookTok) – The most powerful organic discovery platform for fiction authors in 2026. TikTok‘s algorithm surfaces content based on engagement rather than follower count—meaning even new authors can reach tens of thousands of readers. We create short-form video content that captures your book’s vibe and emotional promise.
YouTube – We publish and optimize book trailers, author interviews, and behind-the-scenes content that builds your brand and feeds into search engine discovery.
Cross-Platform Integration – We ensure your social content works together: a book trailer created for YouTube is adapted for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook. Social campaigns feed into broader marketing efforts—they drive traffic to your retailer pages, build your email list, and generate the citations that AI engines and search algorithms retrieve.

How much should I budget for book marketing?

Budgets vary widely based on your goals, genre, and timeline. Here’s a general framework:
  • Minimum viable campaign – $500–$800/month for targeted Meta ads with basic platform optimization
  • Moderate campaign – $1,000–$2,500/month including Amazon Ads, Meta Ads, and Goodreads presence
  • Comprehensive campaign – $3,000–$5,000+/month with full multi-platform management, content creation, and ongoing optimization
  • Giveaways – Variable costs depending on print copies shipped or Kindle equivalents
Most authors see optimal results when they can sustain ad spend for at least 30 days, allowing algorithms time to optimize delivery. We work with you to design a budget that fits your goals and maximizes your return on investment.

How do you integrate all these platforms into one cohesive strategy?

We don‘t treat platforms in isolation. Our holistic approach includes:
  1. Unified Branding – Consistent messaging, visuals, and tone across Amazon, Goodreads, B&N, and all social channels
  2. Cross-Platform Campaigns – A book trailer becomes the centerpiece for Meta ads, TikTok content, YouTube posts, and email marketing
  3. Data-Driven Optimization – We track performance across every channel and shift budget to what’s working best
  4. Review Ecosystem – Reviews generated on Goodreads feed into Amazon credibility, and vice versa
  5. Retargeting – We use pixel tracking to retarget readers who engaged with your content but haven‘t purchased yet
The result is a marketing engine where every platform reinforces the others—driving visibility, credibility, and sales.

What is a book trailer and why do I need one?

A book trailer is a short cinematic video—typically 15 to 60 seconds—that dramatizes your book‘s premise using visuals, text, music, and narration. It grabs attention on fast-scroll platforms, conveys your book’s tone more vividly than a cover alone, and increases the chances of turning interest into sales. One trailer can be adapted across multiple channels: your website, retailer pages, email newsletters, social media posts, and even paid ad campaigns
