book tour marketing
Do you need help?
The Author’s Nightmare: you spend years writing a book only to see it disappear a month after publication with a few reviews, lost in stores stocking celebrity tell-alls and diet books.
As authors who are also organizers, we have learned to turn our activist skills to the task of bringing a book to its natural audience. We have a proven track record and more than a decade of experience maximizing our own books’ shelf lives, creating book tours, and marketing—and we would like to teach these skills to you.
Isn’t book publicity your publisher’s job? Why learn to empower yourself? Because publishing companies can no longer afford to (and choose not to) promote anything other than the sure-fire best-sellers or famous authors. Soapbox: Speakers Who Speak Out Inc. uses its wide range of contacts—that reach far deeper and wider than book reviewers—to make five outreach calls on your behalf, affording you the opportunity to build connections and a sturdy platform for your book. Our philosophy is one part grassroots organizing and one part Jackie Susann, whose Valley of the Dolls sold millions of copies because she took matters into her own hands. In a single meeting or a series of brief, efficient calls, we’d love to share our philosophy of selling books and reaching audiences with you. Fees vary, so please contact us for more details.
