moreSecuring 6-8 Reviews: $249
There are two types of reviews you will need in the course of marketing your book. The first type are advanced reviews. You can use these reviews on the interior of your book, on your back cover, on your website, your presskit, social media, and any marketing endeavors. The second type of reviews includes honest endorsements made by professionals in your genre on various online platforms. The review program includes:
- Contacting 100 reviewers in your genre.
- Sending out electronic review copies safely, avoiding pirating.
- Reviewers have their choice of where they will post their endorsements: GoodReads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, their blog or social media.
- We guarantee 6-8 reviews within 10-12 weeks and will send you all of the links where reviews have been posted.
Bestseller Program: $1500
There are several opportunities for authors to become bestsellers. I offer authors a leg-up by securing their ranking as a bestselling author on Amazon. Having this ranking is beneficial in marketing yourself for book tours, securing speaking engagements and media placement as well as for use on social media marketing. The bestseller program includes:
- Management of your one day 99-cent ebook sale on Amazon
- Submitting your book in 10 categories
- Securing 60 buyers.
- Your new bestselling emblem from Amazon (you are responsible for having your publishers or a designer upload a new cover file for you including this emblem).
Radio + Podcast Interviews: $500
AM/FM Radio and Podcast interviews are the gift that keep on giving. They offer authors a way to be heard by millions of people and are often conducted over the phone. Most hosts offer both live and pre-recorded interviews, several of which are syndicated. This means your one interview will be heard for years to come. You will also have links to be able to promote each show on your social media and website. I offer one spreadsheet of 20 relevant contacts and make two reach out / follow up efforts on your behalf.
morePromotional Materials
There's nothing better than getting your book in your hands, but it's pretty fun to create promotional items too. We work with authors to curate custom promotional materials for their unique launch. These items include things like:
- bookmarks with your cover
- postcards to promote your signing events
- foam-core poster of your cover + easel
- recipe cards featuring your recipes
- business cards for speaking events
- stickers, presskits, pens, etc.
Advanced Reader Copies: $99
Advanced Reader Copies are necessary when requesting endorsements and media placement before your book launches. It is not expected for ARCs to be error-free, as your work is still in the publishing process. We provide ARCs in watermarked PDF format.
moreProfessional Press Kit: $99
This single-page professionally designed PDF is a crisp, at-a-glance sheet used in book marketing, book tours, and publicity. It contains everything booksellers, promoters, media professionals and influencers want to know about your book.
moreBook Signing Tours: $1000/month

- Submitting your events to area calendars.
- Coordinating marketing assets and strategies.
- Want me to be onsite at your events? I just need travel expenses and a per diem in addition to the monthly fee.
Virtual Book Tour: $249/month
Virtual book tours are a great way to get heard without the hassle. Our tours include:
- One month of promotion slowly dripped over multiple book blogs (up to 30).
