Book Marketing Plan
You may have written the greatest book in the world...but is anybody going to read it? Who? How are they going to find it? And what will that book do for them? Or for you?
If you don't know the answers to any of these questions, you're not alone. Most authors don't. That's because writing a book is only half the battle: these days, no matter what type of publisher you work with, the task of selling your book falls primarily on you.
But you're an author, not a marketing professional! Luckily we know how to market books. We can research and write your book marketing plan for you, or provide you with some tools to do the work yourself.
You've invested a lot of time, effort, and cash in getting your book written. Investing in getting it sold may be the best money you've ever spent.
Thompson Writing & Editing has two plans to help you market your book. Our Book Marketing Plan Coaching Package has been provided to Lynn's own editing clients for many years. Now, you can work through it on your own with the new Build-It-Yourself (BIY) Book Selling Roadmap!
If you'd like some help and collaboration to work through that, we're also going to be offering a Built-With-You (BWY) Book Selling Blueprint Lab. That version comes with a weekly group Zoom meeting to discuss what you've found in your research and brainstorm on how you can incorporate that into your book's marketing plan.
If you don't have time for that, our Concierge Book Marketing Plan does all the work for you. We'll meet with you over Zoom to discuss your goals for the book, then get to work and deliver your written plan in a few weeks.
A book marketing plan is like your own treasure map to making your investment in time, energy, and money that is your book pay off for you!
