Book Marketing Services

What do professional book marketing services include?

Professional book marketing covers everything that puts a book in front of its actual readers: a dated launch calendar, Amazon ads management, social media campaigns, advance reader copies and review outreach, plus press and podcast pitching. Bradbury Publishers builds campaigns on honest numbers and weekly reporting — no bestseller guarantees, no bought reviews, no vanity lists.

Nobody can promise a bestseller; anyone who does is selling smoke. What we promise is a plan: the right readers, the right message, and honest numbers every week. Your campaign starts with an audit — your audience, your assets, your honest starting point — then a dated, budgeted calendar covering pre-launch, launch week and the long tail that most authors accidentally ignore.

We run Amazon ads inside your own account, so every dollar and every data point stays yours. Social campaigns are built on content pillars your readers actually follow, ARC teams generate genuine early reviews, and press pitching targets podcasts, newsletters and outlets where your genre's readers already listen. You get weekly numbers in plain English and a strategy you can keep running after we're gone.

What's included in our book marketing services

  • Launch plan & calendar

    A dated, budgeted calendar covering pre-launch, launch week and the long tail — approved by you before a dollar is spent.

  • Amazon ads management

    Sponsored Products and lockscreen ads, tested, measured and reported plainly — run inside your own account.

  • Social campaigns

    Content pillars and scheduled posts for the platforms your readers actually use, with launch-week amplification.

  • ARC team & reviews

    Advance copies to genuine readers, review follow-up that actually follows up — and never a bought review.

  • Press, podcasts & newsletters

    Pitch lists, angles and follow-through aimed at the outlets your genre's readers already trust.

  • Weekly plain-English reports

    Sales, ad spend and rankings explained without jargon — plus a monthly strategy call to adjust the plan.

Who are our book marketing services for?

Authors with a launch date, authors whose first book stalled quietly, and series authors who know book two only sells if book one finds its readers.

Frequently asked questions about book marketing

How much should I budget for book marketing?

Ad spend for a serious US launch typically starts around a few hundred dollars a month, with service fees quoted flat and separately — never as a percentage of your ad budget. On the audit call we'll recommend a budget matched to your genre, price point and goals, and you approve every dollar before it's spent.

Do you guarantee bestseller status?

No — and you should run from anyone who does. Bestseller lists depend on sales velocity across windows no agency controls. What we guarantee is a professional plan, honest weekly numbers and a campaign that puts your book in front of its real readers.

How do Amazon ads work for books?

Amazon Sponsored Products place your book in search results and on product pages of similar titles. We research keywords, build and test ad groups, prune what doesn't perform, and scale what does — inside your own account, so the data history and every optimization stays yours even after handover.

How long before I see results?

Ads typically show meaningful data within two to four weeks; genuine review growth takes one to three months; press pitching can take a season to land. Launch-week spikes are common, but the real goal is the steady tail — and that's where our reporting keeps you honest.

Do you buy reviews or followers?

Never. Bought reviews violate Amazon's terms and can end a writing career, and fake followers poison your targeting forever. We build ARC teams of real readers and grow audiences with content — slower, permanent, and the only way that doesn't end in tears.

Can you market an older book that launched months ago?

Yes — backlist revival is some of the most satisfying work there is. A fresh cover test, renewed metadata, a rebuilt ad structure and a review push often restart books that stalled at launch. The audit tells us within two weeks what's worth doing.
