Unlike traditional book marketing and publishing, we take a custom approach that’s relevant to each author and their books.
As a general rule, you want to start building up your online brand at least six months before your book is published. Your website, social media, ARCs of your book with reviews, and pre-launch buzz helps when the book officially hits the market.
Your actual book launch promotion, which is what the Author Network is all about, is optimal at least three months prior to the book’s release date.
Your individual strategy depends on factors like the type of book, your unique goals, market conditions, trends, and the time of year. Don’t feel overwhelmed; we can help you develop your plan.

That doesn’t mean you should call us right after your book is released. The best time to start is before your book is launched as there are many pre-launch strategies that should happen for a successful book launch.
