Book Marketing

An excellent book on its own, in the vast majority of cases, simply will not sell itself. It is not the message that does the selling, but the messenger. And the messenger is only as effective as the size of the platform he stands on. Therefore, time after time we’re reminded that:

Behind every successful book is a successful author. And under every successful author is a sizeable author platform.

You want your book to be a success but you aren’t yet a successful author?

Don’t let this intimidate you. We understand, and hope you do too, that no one starts out as a successful author. No one, that is, except for high-profile celebrities who decide to write a book. This fact in itself is a valuable lesson in publishing success: the larger the platform, the bigger the success.

That is why, when publishing your book, we don’t just focus on making your book the best it can be in the marketplace ... and leave it at that. We want to turn YOU into a publishing success, not simply your book. Sure, a book that is marketable (well edited, well designed, easily accessible to your main target market) is important, but it is the bare minimum an author needs to succeed. We teach you the importance and the mechanics of building your author platform. We place a high importance on identifying your publishing goals and work hard on providing you with the best vehicle to reach those goals. We do that partly by turning our attention to coaching you, the author, and invest in your own personal development as a master marketer of your book.

Because, as we’ve said earlier, it is not the message that does the selling, but the messenger ... off a robust platform.

Our reason for this is simple: the more successful you are at marketing your book, the more successful we become as a company.
