We explore all communication channels when marketing a book e.g. podcasts, radio, national & local press, book reviewers on NetGalley and social media. We organise blog tours and bookshop signings if the author is available and pitch for the author to talk at literary festivals.
If the protagonists have key characteristics, such as being a painter or archaeologist, or if the story has protagonists with a disability that is central to their character, we will formulate a marketing campaign around that.
