There are multiple ways you can assist with the marketing of your book. Below are some of the steps we recommend:
• If you do not already have one, we recommend you create a personal website, obtaining your name for the URL (eg. johnsmith.com). You can then easily post information about yourself and your work, along with providing a link to your book’s listing on Nova’s website.
• Create an Author’s Page on Amazon by creating an account at Amazon’s Author Central: https://authorcentral.amazon.com/. This will not only allow you to post specific information about yourself and all your books, but will also provide you with sales information from Amazon’s website, allow you to post reviews, etc.
• Create an Author page on Goodreads so other people can easily find your book: http://www.goodreads.com.
• Create a personal profile on ResearchGate and Academia.
• Create a Google Scholar profile and be sure to update your profile to include your book(s).
• Personal Social Media – If you have any social media accounts, you can post information about your book on there, reaching out to all your followers/friends. You can post a link to your book’s listing on our website.
• Electronic Leaflets – We can create a promotional leaflet for your book, which will contain a 20% discount. Once the leaflets are sent to you, feel free to email and/or print and distribute the leaflet for your colleagues and friends at your discretion. To request a leaflet, please email marketing@novapublishers.com.
• Conferences – If you are attending or know of any upcoming conferences where your book may be of interest, please email to marketing@novapublishers.com and we will contact conference organizers for possible marketing opportunities. If you are attending, you may want to distribute the leaflets yourself.
• Bookstores/Libraries – If you know of any bookstores or libraries that may be interested in carrying your book, and if you have not already done so, please send their contact information (name and email address) to marketing@novapublishers.com and I will send them information about your book. They can receive a discount.
• Reviews – If you know of anyone who might be interested in reviewing your book, and you have not already done so, please feel free to send their contact information (name and email address) to marketing@novapublishers.com and we will consider sending them a copy of your book to review.
