Marketing for Book Authors - Writer's Relief for Victoria Writer's Guild

So you’ve finished writing your masterpiece, and your work is done, right? Wrong. If you want to be a successful author—meaning one whose writing actually sells—you need to actively market your book from the moment you put your pen down to the day you pick it up again at your book signing.

First, it’s important that you promote the unique appeal of your particular story. Whether you’re pitching your unpublished manuscript to literary agents or your published book to readers, you have to have a firm understanding of what makes your story worth reading.

Second, no matter how amazing your book is, customers can’t buy what they don’t know exists. It’s crucial to get the word out that your book is available.

Regardless of where you are in the publishing process, we can guide you in your marketing efforts with advice based on almost 20 years of experience in the publishing industry.
