​​Marketing Mentoring: $50USD/hour. 
​Books aren't widgets.  One size doesn't fit all.  Also, just because you've written it, doesn't mean that they will read it.  Each title needs a particular outreach program specific to genre, topic matter, and audience.   If you are looking for a rope bridge to get over the promotion quagmire, contact us for a brainstorming consultation and tap into our knowledge base and resources.  We won't do the promotional work for you... but we'll offer you some proven tools and expert advice to help you along the way.  Consultations are available via telephone, Zoom meeting, or in-person.

• Home Page
• Contact Page with email list sign up form

• Blog Page (maintained by the author after design)

Book Trailers: ​$100 - $200

As the name implies, book trailers are very similar to film trailers.  These are short films or "commercials" about your book to quickly introduce readers to your book, and hook them on your story.  When you create a book trailer, you give readers an entertaining way to discover your book.  Book trailers are helpful for creating interest in your book during the pre-promotion phase.  After publication, they work as a "talking synopsis."  Book trailers are an easy way for readers to recommend your book with their friends.  Book trailers tase readers about the exciting moments in your book, without giving it all away.​

​Book Trailers are fantastic marketing tools to use on your website, YouTube channel, in social media, in E-newsletters, and to show on a laptop or tablet as part of your Festival table display.  You can choose to have one for each book, focusing on just one piece of the story... or you might want to order two or three for each book you've written, to add variety to your marketing program.  The possibilies are endless.

• Book Trailers are available in three lengths:

                    60 seconds = $100
                    90 seconds = $150  
                       2 minute = $200

• Author provides book's full synopsis, from which we will extract the key moments to use in the trailer.
• Graphics for children's picture books are provided by the author (i.e. interior illustrations).
