The Jump-Start Book Promotion Campaign

The Jump Start Book Promotion Campaign consists of a 6-Week campaign with the following elements:

  • It begins with an in-depth analysis of the book and coaching to help the author establish a long-lasting presence for the book, author brand, and expertise (if applicable).
  • A book publicist is assigned who works closely with the client to establish a campaign strategy (with campaign activity ideally beginning one month in advance of the title’s publication date), overall goals, pitching angles and targets, etc.
  • We upload the book to NetGalley, a community where 200,000+ librarians, bloggers, educators, booksellers and media.
  • After the author completes an in-depth questionnaire, we write press materials and then pitch multiple angles to reach our vast and well-established network of local, regional and national scope print (newspaper and magazine), broadcast (television and radio) and online (blogs, e-zines, etc.) media outlets. Media targets are highly personalized and specifically tailored to reach contacts who cover areas of interest which pertain to the book and/or author’s background, as well as relevant industry/trade media. Our lists are also constantly evolving to reflect new markets/angles we identify to be tapped into.
  • We work closely with the author to brainstorm and pitch op-ed and byline article pieces, which we work to “place” with top-tier media (with credit to the author – ideally alongside their book title and purchasing information).
  • The publicist collaborates with the client on multiple pitching angles, ideas, tie ins to breaking news stories, etc., and personally pitches media via various methods – e-mail, phone, mail – depending on media preference. The publicist sends books and press material to interested media, arranges media opportunities, and works with author’s schedule. The publicist also performs aggressive and ongoing follow-up efforts to bring forward media feedback and encourage coverage plans. Depending on the book and author preferences, the media contacted may include radio and TV shows, newspapers and magazines, and online outlets, reviewers, bloggers, etc.
  • The publicist handles all media relations and fields all media inquiries.
  • Based on the nature of the project, target markets, author availability, and client priorities, the publicist can assist in:
    • Researching and contacting book stores/venues for potential book signing events, OR
    • Researching and pitching to select book clubs for potential reading consideration OR
    • Researching appropriate, genre-specific book bloggers to pitch and set up a virtual book ‘blog tour.’
  • The author will receive weekly written updates detailing the outreach activities, expressions of interest from the media/book requests, and plans for the following week, so the client knows exactly what is happening at all times. Links to media coverage, when available, are also included in these reports.
  • When the campaign ends, we provide the client with a campaign summary and contact details for media contacts who expressed interest for further follow up.

The Comprehensive Book Promotion Campaign

The Comprehensive Book Promotion Campaign consists of the same elements as the Jump Start Book Promotion Campaign, but it lasts for 3 months. In a longer campaign, we have the ability to pitch more angles, articles, trends, etc., and conduct further follow up to encourage interest to coverage. A six-week campaign is not considered a full-scale campaign, but can be an effective way to kick-start visibility for a new book, gauge media interest, and provide the author with contacts to continue media outreach.
