    The Standard marketing that comes with every title we publish is six hours (unless you take out Extra Publicity) For that to be effective, our publicists need our authors to be committed to marketing their books.

    Stuck with marketing ideas? We have a guide for authors, full of inspiration and how-tos in how to market yourself, read Marketing 365.

    How will you market your book?

    To pitch your book to media and trade buyers, we need to know:

    • The extent of your existing platform as an author.
    • What you plan to do to promote your book.

    Tell us about it in the Marketing Plan box on your Book Details page.

    Remember to add your social media numbers

    Sales reps, especially in the US, want to see your social media number.

    Knowing the numbers, gives them a rough conversion rate on sales to expect. Though not an extract science, the rule of thumb is 10% of the following will see the post and from that number around 10% is likely to buy/read. For example:

    1000 followers 100 see the post 10 sales minimum.

    If your numbers are positive it encourages the sales teams to pitch larger sales of your book.
