What are some of the ways Jenkins Group can help with my author and book marketing?
First, you can book one-on-one consultations about marketing your book or your brand as an author with our founder, Jerry Jenkins.
Our team can also continue to consult with you on best practices and strategies, and we can connect you with public relations teams, help you apply for and win awards and garner more reviews, strategize the hows, whens, and wheres of book distribution and events, and more.
Why should I start making marketing plans before the publication process is finished?
One of the things we or any solid book marketing firm can help you with is finding the right audience for your book and identifying the best ways to connect with them. But that can mean tweaking the contents of your book to appeal to your ideal reader.
If you don’t have at least a general marketing target and strategy in the early stages of creating your book, you may miss out on the chance to write or present it in a way that appeals to your intended market.
