Practical Marketing Support
No two books follow the same path, and neither do the authors who write them. That’s why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to book marketing. We’ll help you explore ideas, identify opportunities, and develop a marketing approach that fits your goals, your audience, and your comfort level.
Our job is to make sure you never have to figure it all out alone.
Monthly Marketing Meetings
Every month, Current Words authors are invited to join our complimentary online marketing meeting. Together, we discuss book promotion, social media, reader outreach, events, advertising ideas, and the many questions that come up after publication.
Some authors come looking for fresh ideas. Others enjoy hearing what’s working for fellow writers or brainstorming solutions to a marketing challenge. Occasionally we welcome guest speakers, and sometimes we even assign optional “homework” to encourage everyone to try a new marketing strategy before our next meeting.
Whether you’ve worked with us on editing, book design, publishing, or another Current Words service, you’re always welcome to join us.
Marketing Resources
Every Current Words author receives access to a growing library of practical marketing resources, including guides, templates, checklists, and tutorials covering topics such as:
- Amazon Author Central
- Goodreads
- BookBub
- Library outreach
- Social media
- ARC planning
- Launch ideas
- And much more
When appropriate, we can also help create materials such as media kits, book club discussion guides, and simple author websites to help you present your work professionally and connect with readers.
Authors also have a dedicated online workspace where they can easily access contracts, publication information, marketing materials, and other resources related to their book whenever they need them.
Our goal is to save you time by sharing practical resources and ideas that make book marketing feel a little less overwhelming.
Opportunities to Promote Your Book
Throughout the year, we invite authors to participate in opportunities such as:
- Pass the Mic author features
- Author interviews
- Blog features
- Newsletter spotlights
- Advance reader campaigns
- Collaborative promotions with other Current Words authors
Not every opportunity is right for every author, but we’ll help you decide which ones best fit your goals.
A Long-Term Partnership
One of the things that makes Current Words different is that our relationship doesn’t end on publication day.
Whether you have a question about your website, need help brainstorming your next marketing idea, want feedback on a promotional opportunity, or simply aren’t sure what to do next, we’re here to help.
We believe books are evergreen. A book can find new readers months or even years after publication. It can lead readers to your next book, open unexpected opportunities, or simply continue making a difference one reader at a time.
Publishing a book is a milestone.
Believing in it shouldn’t have an expiration date.
Let’s Keep the Conversation Going
If you have questions about marketing your book or would simply like to brainstorm ideas together, we’d be happy to hear from you.
